Hey, there was the ridiculously named 'Hand of god' theme with the titlebar on the side !

Good days ... running the ripple effect on the bottom ... bring me bling !

Wow, I had forgotten about how disappointed I was when I found out about winmodems. That tempered my fascination with Linux fairly quickly at the time.

Since you start the nostalgia train. I remember recompiling the kernel over and over again with different options and modules.

I remember the ripples and the flames on the logon screen. Downloading the latest source of E almost nightly. Spending time hanging out on #E.

Good times.

Most of my time in E16 was spent sitting patient and inert, waiting for someone to walk by my desk so I could impress them with the awesome window flipping and water animations. Well, that and posting endless screenshots of my setup to various forums. Whenever I'm feeling down I pour myself a drink and browse my "screenshots_2002" folder :)

> Remember discovering what a winmodem was...

I still have my first non-winmodem installed in my machine, though I haven't had an active phone line in my apartment for years... ahhh, nostalgia!

> Remember installing linux for the first time to try it out?

I am starting to think this will happen soon.

Remember BlueSteel? I'm using it right now. Still use the latest Enlightenment DR16 on all my Linux and Solaris boxes. It does everything I need a window manager to do.
