Might be the only perfect software ever created. It still works. We use at work for burning blurays and DVD for large datasets.

The creater also added tons of hilarious quotes and sass to it.

I moved to Kagi paid search engine and haven't looked back.

But what has happened is games on are steam .... which installs the launcher + game.

For programming I always tell folks you need 3 skills: adaptability, self-reliance, and strong problem solving (thinking outside of the box, etc)
