I received some nice feedback today on Drivey, and decided it was time I collected some of the emails I’ve received over the years and post them here, at least in part to inspire me to revisit the project.
The demo is getting very very old now, and has been downloaded anywhere from 100,000 to 150,000 times since being slashdotted back in 2005. What I was always delighted with was the degree to which people seemed to “get it” and not be particularly bothered by the fact that there was no particular point or goal. So many simply appreciated it for what it was and didn’t seem to expect anything more, and I was surprised at how rarely people tried to tell me what I should do next.
Here, in roughly reverse chronological order, and only slightly abridged, are some of the nice and/or interesting comments I’ve received.

I am from Malaysia and I really love your work on Drivey Graphical Demo. I have downloaded all two latest executable and .scr file from your website. I also really enjoyed all four environment type that included in Drivey. Since I have Drivey, I cannot stop myself from staring at my monitor that can make me calm and a bit resting from any tension during my daily work. Maybe sooner if you have an improvement for this demo I wish I can be the earliest person who knows about it. Your Drivey runs perfectly on my Windows Vista Basic. Thank you very much for a light application like this but give a big enjoyment for me as a user. Keep up a good work! :]
