Clarissa | making Enigma Heart

lol.

So, way back in the day, when Opera didn't suck, it was my browser of choice. And one day, I got a notification that the new version was available. The version number was 9.01, but it was typo'd in the notification message as "90.1". I screenshotted it because I found the idea of a version number that high to be ludicrous and amusing.

Me: *glances over at Firefox version 145.0.2*

I loved how easy it was to set an icon for a device on Mac OS (I used a Mac at work and Windows at home)

I named the flash drive that I used to move data back and forth between home and work "Scotty" because it transported files.

Got curious and decided to look up Opera's history. Version 9.01 (and thus that screenshot) would have been 'round about August 2, 2006.

@ClarusPlusPlus Back in the old old OLD days, you could attach sounds to nearly every OS Event. Like each key tap or when the floppy disk ejected (there was a "puke" application/INIT for doing it)

@ClarusPlusPlus if you use XFCE you can copy scotty into ~/.icons/$theme/*/emblems/ (with theme being your theme) and set an automount rule for that drives ID, set the emblem for that mount point.

Not exactly the same thing I know but...scotty can return in a way

@ClarusPlusPlus I remember being super grumpy about... Firefox 5? being a gratuitous version bump and how that kind of nonsense reflected a shift in values away from stuff I liked/appreciated about the project
