I am very thankful for Hover and Pinball. They made me want a faster and less buggy computer. This resulted in wonderful mishaps -- deleting Win system files, recovering into Vector Linux, trying Win 3.11 for WG, and finally ending up in Win98 SE. All the in between is free knowledge. All due to Hover running at 3FPS on my Cirrus Logic onboard gpu/100mhz cpu.

In my heart, the reason for Hover -- to plant a seed forging low level algorithm programmers.
