That’s such a blast from the past. It may seem frivolous, but it’s funny what draws a kid in. I spent a lot of time in middle school fussing with drivers to get hardware acceleration to run on crappy secondhand laptops, all so I could play with the cube, wobbly windows, and the flame effects. I had no idea it was doing this at the time, but it helped familiarize me with POSIX concepts that later gave me a jumpstart on my career.
