How old am I? I remember when screensavers were a big deal. You could buy disks with special luxury screensavers.

The dancing baby got a big box CD release and I saw it for £9.99 once. 10 quids! Oh, but I loved getting shareware screensavers back in the day, they were so fun and varied. I regret throwing out all those old discs. There was one that was Mike Teethson and Holearfield, big teeth and an ear, boxing

That's awesome. I wonder if they'd still work?

Somewhere at my mother's house is a PC from the 90s. I hooked it up when my PC was in the shop and it all still worked. If I'd kept those discs I could have used them again :( I wanted the sleeves they were in but I could have kept the discs, I wish I had :(
