    This is dense. I skimmed through hoping to see examples of the “aesthetics” with screenshots of old school installers (like the ones from Razor 1911, Class, Deviance etc) - it looks like these are scattered around the web, though. If anyone wants to relive some of the old chiptunes from these installers there’s <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;codex-installer-music-5-2018-03-192kbit-aac" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;codex-installer-music-5-2018-03-...

        Cool, will be spending hours today listening to it!

        Frankly .tk domain is as much of a nostalgia hit as the music, weren&#x27;t aware it is still around.
