We are, as a people, awash in old operating system simulators. The Roottrees Are Dead, Hack '95, Pipes.exe—something deep inside us yearns for the old ways. We remember, hazily, as though glimpsed through fog, a time when booting up the PC yielded an ethereal Brian Eno startup noise and a world of possibility, rather than an Office 365 upsell and exciting new AI features*.
We are also all getting old, yes. That might have something to do with it too.
