I was worried someone had re-created Win 3.1 in Flash and was like "but how will I view that?" but this is much cooler. Also, props for having the best Gem in the site header. [EDIT] Also, this site and all the "friends / cool people" sites on main page are outstanding. If this is what The Youths are up to, they might be alright after all. [EDIT EDIT] sorry for assuming you're one of The Youths if you're not, most of the photos on the other sites (jesus, that comes off creepy, sorry again) looked fairly young so I made some assumptions.

  The trans programming community is strange and interesting, also many of them seem to be in a polyamorous relationship with each other. It’s definitely a social dynamic I’ve never seen before, and almost intimidating from the outside

    I love hearing the circles I run in (I'm a CS major, although I barely program anymore, and I'm queer and poly) described from an anthropological distance. It's very funny :P

  Spotted that after I posted, probably makes something around 24 the lowest likely age, but I'm just old enough that that's still The Youths to me :-) [EDIT] Anyway I wasn't trying to be weird about this, just complimenting some awesome young people (some of the others definitely appear to be in the "young people" range) so I'll just leave it there. I'm just going to quietly check out these delightful throwback hobbyist sites and not engage again so I stop being such an awkward old weirdo :-)

It would not surprise me if someone managed to build DosBox running inside of Flash. Maybe a build made for ASMJS could (slowly) work.
