My pc is an all in one job from 2012 with HD2500 integrated graphics. I’m not sure I’m going to know what is buggy and retro bu design and what is just my crappy hardware. I’m kind of amazed Game Pass beta app installed (it took a while tbf).

Fooled around in the start up screen. I think it’s going to be my jam. I first used the internet in 1997 at sixth form, so this is nostalgia that’s very much from my era.

And I had my own terrible homepage with rotating JPEGs and embedded wav files. And way too much personal data.
