I get why, though. Rewriting legacy code from -- at the time -- nearly 20 years ago for 64-bit systems and optimizing it all accordingly is a hard ask, even as a preservation effort from an era when skeuomorphism was being dragged out kicking and screaming. And I'm saying that as someone on the outside looking in. It's just weird -- surreal, even -- to see. But, I digress. xD - hunter graham
