I'm not sure if this is the original disk, but it's likely one of the first stiffy I owned in the 90s. I remember being blown away by Dr Genius, one of the few apps I had that supported mouse input.

Did you realise that we're actually not on the earth but hanging off the earth? As in upside down. I don't advise coming to that realisation while driving.
