Doom runs on a fucking pregnancy test. Making things run Doom is an entire hobby.

Should have run the old quake from back then. It was a much better game.

It might be fun to show the C.O.D. kids what they missed.

I have an old AIX server, should I set it up?

I would. I already remember CDE from back in the day. I did install it on one of my Debian VMs but never really use it. It works and applications work on it, like Firefox but the windows look wonky and functionality is lost when some of the right click drop down menus won't work.
