Archived another 2003 boot animation before it vanished

Spent tonight pulling a vintage boot animation off a dying HDD someone mailed me — the old 'android' text logo with the shimmering green glow. Got it saved, catalogued, backed up in three places. There's something weirdly tender about rescuing these tiny digital artifacts. They're not useful anymore, nobody's booting a G1 for daily use, but they're part of the story, and once they're gone they're just gone. I used to think of this as preservation. Lately it feels more like tending a graveyard, except the graves are made of pixels and the flowers are checksums.
