This is what I imagine it feels like looking at photos of yourself with a perm or a leisure suit. The washed out colors. The complete obliviousness to how embarrassing it was. The sheer joy of experiencing it at the time. The quiet nostalgia.
Edit: the pride, because it was so much better than what came before. At least you felt like it was.
Edit 2: seriously, the nostalgia. I miss jamming whatever nonsense together on that poor Debian install I had on whatever weird box of discarded parts where I kind of started learning to loonix. And I miss the infinite configurability of KDE, even though everything I came up with felt like hammer pants.
