It’s supposed to give it this point of view of the older guy that doesn’t make fun of the younger ones but just reminds them that they’ll be in the same shoes eventually, with stuff that they took for granted fading into obscurity. You know, taking a more humble stance, without being condescending.

I have vivid memories of my Win 95 computer that came preinstalled. I had to buy a bunch of empty floppies and spend what felt like an eternity just inserting it one after another so I would get my set of Windows installation disks.

I had CSI in mind, but that Red Dwarf scene fits even better.

I heard that story, too… When I started studying. That was almost 20 years ago. I’d have assumed they had moved on until now if that hadn’t been an urban myth in the first place.
