A random memory from that time is that we went to a computer shop with my cousin (she was much older than me) and there was a publicly available PC.

She removed a plastic cover from the keyboard (does anyone remember those covers? They dont make them anymore due to cost cutting) and then... she wrote some magic and a demoscene demo popped up on the screen.

Now I think it was MSDos so she opened Norton Commander and simply opened some demoscene demo. I wonder what was the name of that demo (or screensaver?)

It was a bird view of 3d animated green-blue water.. made from some surfaces.

For a kid who did know any english DOS was magic
