    My Ko-Fi - ko-fi.com/retrovex (Includes Shop + Donations)
    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!

      This was one of the most wonderful soundscapes my family and I have ever witnessed. It makes me think of my computer as the window of possibilities it was imagined to be. Thank you so much for this composition

      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.

      @@NinoDesbordes-vl6cc It came out a year or so before you were born. I was in 5th grade at the time. I'll never forget we got a brand new Dell desktop in our class room (Those old black huge Dell PC's from the early 2000's that were EVERYWHERE) and the only reason we had a PC in our classroom was because I went to a private school. That day was the first time I got a glimpse of Windows XP. I had grown up using 95, then 98, but XP was absolutely fascinating to 11 year old me. We got it at home pretty soon after that. It's easily the best operating system Windows ever made, and it perfectly encapsulates the frutiger aero aesthetic and is why so many people these days love that aesthetic and remember it fondly.

      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!
