Description
The OS is a modified Examplenix Update Pack 1 ISO. It adds some new programs and wallpapers. It comes with 293581 new wallpapers, 42 fonts, 3000 new cursors, and a portable coffee machine with void* flavor and time machine which can go both ways back a trillion years attached to it, but remains mostly stock from Examplenix.
