Good times. @Kris, that theme is pretty nice! @Janko, 520mb of ram?? is that a typo? :) i remember 1mb of ram upgrade cost about $100usd in the early 90s. oh yeah I still have boxes of 5.25" disks. One day I'll make a wall art out of them, and tell the kids the good old days where we had to program up the hill in the snow, both ways. @Victor, you are part of my nostalgia! Good times.

It had 520MB of RAM and 20MB Seagate hard disk and guess what - 5.25" floppy! You are right, this is something that I won't miss, but those days.... ahhh.

Then I applied it and immediately my eyes popped. Literally. I had to have them replaced. As cool as some of the themes are, I still prefer gmail redesigned by Globex Designs.

It's not about the things, it's about the feelings we try to get back and the emotions of a simpler time. Never do we feel in the moment what we think we felt years later. Good post Jin. My how you've grown young grasshopper. Victor Very insightful on why we love nostalgia. It’s not about the things, it’s about the feelings we try to get back and the emotions of a simpler time.
