I started my technical career in 1990 with Windows 3.x and have had the dubious pleasure of watching Microsoft Windows become what it is today. One of my fondest and most clearly-memorable moments is learning about the Easter Egg in what was then my brand-new install of Windows 95, hot off the presses. I was already expecting something quirky and cool, but when your music faded in and the theme began playing, I was absolutely beside myself. At that moment, nothing could have been cooler, and the music that you created for that moment made an impression that has lasted almost 20 years. Thank you sincerely for that wonderful composition, and a great memory. ZD I’d like to add my gratitude and appreciation to the comments as well.

I just happened to be thinking about today (for some unknown reason) and your blog popped up on a Google search. Back in the day, I used to play it on occasion...found it relaxing and somewhat Yanni-esque (hope that doesn't offend you!). Of course, the more I had to drink in a particular evening, the greater the chance that it would be played...being in my 20's at the time, it got quite the workout! Great job on the music and thanks for the behind-the-scenes info! Also, thanks for the mp3 version...now on my iPod. Cheers, Greg Wow, it’s great to finally know the story behind clouds.mid!
