I don't think so. The filmed tracker screen just brought back these memories of the mod movement. "Mod" stands for "module" and on the early Amiga computers there was a sound chip that could manage three (?) sound channels simultaneously - great for programming music - but the cool community aspect was that the music playback data plus a sample could all be packed into a very small file, called "module", and shared online. So the mod file contained both the sounds and the composition, which was much better than MIDI because MIDI files did not contain the sound samples and thus could not guarantee the music sounded as intended when played back by the listener. This happened at the early web days when bandwidth was an issue :-) Regarding fun Windows nostalgia there is also this Windows RG (*Really Good* Edition): http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/winrg I was once made target for a very funny joke: a friend dropped the Windows RG flash file into my PC laptop's start-up objects folder. With the flash set to full screen mode it really felt like having a completely new and rubbish system when I booted up the laptop.
