I found a copy of 1995's 'Desktop Toys' on archive.org, and ran it on linux with wine literally yesterday.

Windows 11 has an incompatability with 32 bit progams apparently.

I see your point, but I think we're in better shape than you estimate.

That said, we could always be in bettar shape, and as more is created, the less complete archives can be.
