I once had a dream that this thing was the subject of a Top Gear episode and the three were given one each and they were tasked with modifying them in preparation for a race.

No specific reason. I've always found typewriters interesting and I enjoy it whenever I find someone who has, or still, uses them. They're a lot more enjoyable to write on than computers, to me at-least.

I still don't understand how people were able to write software in the days when assembly was the only option for speedy execution.

This is cool, it reminds of when I would get bored and make little games as batch files for the windows command prompt a long time ago.

I was just watching a video about this, it's pretty cool and honestly impressive that it could be done on N64. They don't even have Half-Life 1 on N64, which makes me wonder if recreating Portal 1 decently in Goldsrc is possible.

Next to things like Notepad, the Calculator, and Command Prompt, Wordpad is and has been one of the most useful programs ever bundled with Windows in terms of functionality and user-friendliness, so the idea of getting rid of it (even if it gets replaced) just seems kind of asinine.

To be honest, outside of Wikipedia, this is probably one of the most useful websites on the internet.

This is really neat, but also kind of redundant due to the fact that Microsoft Edge already includes a surfing game extremely similar to SkiFree, although it replaces the Abominable Snowman with a Kraken. I still think this is pretty cool though for those who want the original experience running on newer, none 16-bit, hardware.

I was a little bit disappointed when I discovered which type of hamburger menu they were talking about, I initially thought this article was going to address issues with the common types of sandwiches provided by fast food restaurants. But otherwise, I agree with the points stated in this article.

Although I would put my links in a <nav> section at the bottom of the page above the footer instead of inside the footer itself. Putting links in the header or the footer always seems to cause accessibility issues.

Or better yet, I would put links to the two or three most prevalent pages of the site as well as a link to a separate sitemap page in a navigation section under the header, so it would be something like:

"Home - About - Projects - Sitemap".
