   Sometimes I wish I wasn't a retrotech reverse engineer.

   Because see, if you're not one, you get to live 2025 without any chance of having to ever think about fucking MFC

     This also applies to other decades, of course. I spend most of my time in the 90s but you can retrotech into the 80s, 70s, or even 00s.

     Windows XP is now older than the entire PC architecture was when Windows XP came out, after all.

     The best thing about being into retrotech is the 90s never ended.

     I google "how do keyboard shortcuts work in MFC" and the little AI summary is like "foone, foone... It's 2025. You don't need to think about MFC. You're free. We're all free."

     Warcraft (III), Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, Prince of Persia (The Sands of Time), Grand Theft Auto (Vice City), Dark Forces (Jedi Outcast), C#/.NET, Firefox (aka Phoenix/Firebird), Steam, BitTorrent.

     All are closer to the August 1981 release of the original IBM 5150 PC than today.

     I should make a list of things that happened in the "first half" of the PC's history.
