neat to see what's going on outside the windows/linux/mac world.
i do wish though that we got articles like this written by people who haven't grown up with win3.11/9x/2k. Like it would just be so refreshing to read about stuff like this from the perspective of someone who doesn't have all this background knowledge.
You are from a nearby parallel reality aren't you? ๐ฏ
