It's a good thing you're respectful about it. Your proposed solution seems to miss of of the main point of the author: creativity. Using a standard set of mature programming tools isn't creativity. The other aspect (that you touched) is time. Unless you set up a virtual machine, you will never get the same visual result of your toy project in Microsoft Visual Basic -- or maybe even get it to compile.

The author argues that screenshots is the fastes and most convenient way to reminiscence about the past, and for that she is right.
