In the shareware days I made pretty good money for a college student with a graphical Netware login utility called "vgalogin" (great name I know). It put the graphics card in VGA mode and integrated a screensaver and quote of the day along with a login dialog. Its main use was simplifying login batch files since with it you didn't need to detect a bad login in the batch file. In those days "marketing" meant uploading the executable to Simtel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simtel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simtel) and they would "announce" it. Getting those random checks in the mail from some company or college I never heard of was pretty cool.
