    Here's my big thank you shout out to everyone who donated so far 💜 at 5:30
    I decided not to add any engine sound effects as I thought it'd distract from the nostalgic feeling, but let me know if next time you'd like more sounds on top of music!
    This one has took me quite some time and work to do, a lot of transitions and merging, making sure everything connects perfectly, I hope you'll enjoy this
    little journey we are headed on!

    Honestly, I prefer the old PCs of the past. It was a much more innocent and imaginative time. I look back on those days happily.

      Same here. Grew up with Windows 95, 98, then XP in my most formative years. Building pokemon/dbz fan sites with basic HTML as a 3rd grader while most of my school teachers didn't even know how to access the internet yet.

    As someone that practically enjoys older Windows in today's environment, despite their outdated state and all, first you've drawn me in with 95 being relatable, then it was 98 to fly over my expectations completely and now this NT(4) one...
    Well played - you have mastered a New Technology for ambience. Especially looking towards XP, but we still have 2000 (and, indirectly, ME) first. 🖖

      Less Nostalgia? Mayhaps for you, I oft visited my grandfather's workplace where Windows NT 4.0-based machines were rife from the mid-90's through the early 2000's. Those were true workstations, he ensured a hospital's backup power plant never failed. Those machines were reliable as ever, even as external electric providers weren't!

      NT 4.0 came out in 1996. And technically "NT" still exists, it's one of the two Windows' kernel (the other one being 9x, that was on 95, 98 and ME). Win10 and 11 are both NT 10 (officially... in fact they should be NT 6.4)
