God, Powerpoint 95 is a look. How many buttons can you fit on a 640x480 screen? At least this many!

the fact I can turn on a toolbar that just lets me jump to other Office Software is the most "Someone got a promotion for that" feature I've seen in a while

if you ask it to help you create a table, one of the suggested databases is one to track your film, you know for photographers? like what date you had that roll developed...
That's some 1996-ass functionality right there.

for some reason Fox Pro comes with Imagedit, a pixel image editor that can edit BMP, CUR, and ICO.

The FoxPro logo is definitely Arial, but it's tweaked a little bolder than Arial Heavy, and the kerning has been manually tweaked, it looks like.
Microsoft liked to do this around 1995. They'd design something with their standard fonts, but then have some graphical designers tweak how it looked. Like the "It's now safe to shutdown your computer" screen: they tweaked several letters in that.

I overlaid some Ariel on it and tried to match it. Aside from the boldness issue, you can see the kerning is different on "Fo" and they redrew the V

this is a little annoying if you're invested in mimicing Microsoft typography from 1995.
That may seem an obscure thing to be concerned with but it seems to come up for me all the time.

That's kind of you to say, @evan . I'm still somewhat concerned people will think I'm spamming the timeline.
@pluralistic does it and people don't mind; but I'm not the same kind of writer.
Really, this ought to be a blog post, not a thread; I should really reactivate my blog.

Vi ho mai mostrato il porta PC portatile da parete che feci qualche anno fa? Stasera ho smontato tutto per sfilare e ripulire la PS4 accanto.
Quello bianco è un pannello in PVC di recupero dalla galvanica, lo buttavano via, poi c'è un profilo ad angolo in alluminio e pellicola lucida effetto carbonio del negozio di cinesi.
Si nota la presa d'aria che ho fatto di sotto verso il centro?
