This is multi-sensory experience comes complete with randomly chosen Casio-style renditions of Sister Hazel’s “All For You,” Deep Blue Something’s “Breakfast At Tiffany’s,” Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” and more mid-90s sort-of hits.
Now, if only our computer was still that giant, office-tan plastic thing that took up an entire an entire desk and had Leisure Suit Larry still installed on it. Whatever. On to our new crusade: saving comic sans!
