1. Vegas odds makers are not too concerned about folks hitting up the virtual moon thing. They figure it's way easier for people to hook up at Vegas than sealed into space suits surrounded by virtual moon dust. Anyway, if it turned out to be a thing, Vegas would clone it immediately.
2. There are already enough dead UI's to swoon over available online. A Win 95 UI would probably be a last choice to reminisce over. What, insert the occasional blue screen? :-) But yeah, nostalgia is a fickle beast.
3. Kudos to the IIT for their endeavors, however I prefer the tried and true potato battery where there is a whole internet recipe collection to feast on. Creating a kind of carb consciousness.

I will definitely try and use the Emojiton pgm, could save lots of search time.

We've spawned two of the gens as WFH types. Interesting article over in CW. Future friction could be the more WFH existing could create a kind of Exurban sprawl developing with everyone dropping stuff into the water table everywhere, (including paving the earth over) possibly forcing jurisdictions into a new round of zoning rules. Also, as usual the real estate people will be there to jack up Exurban cost of living into the stratosphere, as usual. Except maybe in places like Houston Tx. where I guess anything goes, in the future, not likely, but that city might break away and acquire/annex the balance of Texas territory, maybe with the exception of El Paso.
