not to us old farts, who get a great feeling of nostalgia when we read about those win32 APIesque topics.

Win32? ...Ha! That's modern stuff. My first thought was "who the heck would need to maintain .COM DOS executables in 2021?":)
That's not nostalgia. Look behind you!!!

My primary use of Win32 APIs now is to scare people away from making anything that byzantine. If the APIs don't do the trick, I start telling back compat stories. [shudder]
