From MAL: "We love KidPix! There are some pieces of software that have a particular sort of nostalgic attachment, a way of resting in the consciousness of even those who may never have used them."
If you put a small weight on your computer mouse with the “dot splash” tool selected, KidPix will just keep randomly splashing dots. Kid Pix was created 33 years ago in 1989, and that 1989 divided by 60 (seconds) is also about 33 (33.15). So I made a 33-ish minute record of the splashing. I think it draws about 6 dots a second; 33 min x 60 sec x 6 dots per sec = 11,880 dots.
