I had many of those fun extensions, I think my favorite was one that added physics to your desktop icons so they’d hang from your cursor at an angle if you dragged them from a point other than their “center of gravity”. Sometimes I’d just twiddle icons while thinking through things I was working on.

I too miss that sort of whimsy and playfulness–I don’t think it’s inherently incompatible with modern expectations of professionalism/accessibility/security but it definitely seems to have been lost from most software these days.

Edit: found the extension! http://www.wildbits.com/gravite/

The Grouch was great. Or "great" if there were little kids around, intermittent fun reward for throwing file in the trash, what could possibly go wrong?

More than the Grouch, I'm getting pains from the Iomega references

gravite was delightful!

Agreed completely but every now and then it still pops up. Recently, Notchmeister [0]
