I wish modern desktops had paper like textured windows, a common title bar theme, and proper scroll bars.
Everything's so plain and bland nowadays.

You know one of my favourite vocal stims which has stuck with me over the years is the splash screen jingle to the RISC OS program "Mr Clippy", which was part of the DrawWorks suite wayback when.
"🎵 I'm Mr Cippy, I have a song for you. Dum dum dum. I save Vectoors and Bitmaps too. 🎵 Oooo!"

The MS-DOS one is pure nightmare fuel: https://www.riscos.com/support/developers/prm/dosfs.html#idx-2571

I wonder if R.A. "Smigg" Smith knew in 1990 that people would still by finding copies of his "creation" in the year of our Waluigi, 2026? #riscos #retrocomputing
e: If anyone knows what happened to "Smigg" afterwards, can you please fill me in? I'm curious if they got a bollocking for releasing Icon, and what they later went on to do.
