This is pretty cool, although it makes me feel old.
I can't imagine anyone younger than 30 would even get what this article is about.
Actually, I'd love to hear from anybody younger than 30. Does this article make sense to you at all?
27, I dimly remember what Winamp was (never used it though) and extrapolated what Skins would be. I assume they're essentially an archive of image files used to give a music player a custom look? Except they're not technically restricted to image files and can apparently contain other files too, which I assume will make them invalid as skins, i.e. corrupted.
How far off am I?
