       You're like a flash from the past. A return to the heyday of   
   the PC craze around the late 90s and early 00s. I remember   
   when I first got a computer (late '98) I loved going to the download   
   sites to download new stuff. At one point I ran into someone who   
   was very pleased to have 5 or 6 startup managers lined up on his   
   Start Menu. :)   
      
      As much as I was thrilled by my new hobby, I didn't use a computer   
   for work and didn't actually have any use for it. I was like an Amazonian   
   tribesman who's found a car and just gets a big thrill out of making   
   the windows go up and down.   
      
      Up until that point I'd been making fun of people who paid $300   
   for PDAs and then would take 10 minutes to record my phone   
   number on it. (I understand that today PDA stands for "public display   
   of affection". As in "Ben seen here pouring on the PDA with JLo.")
