this was a painstaking job

so i drew by pixels and came up with this. i started off with just 4 screens. off state, power on, booting up and the xp desktop.

then i wanted to animate them. but putting in only four screens seemed sucky.

• so i made screens in between...
• so i made the xp booting up splash screen...
• and then i chopped up the initial booting up screen...
  
• then i made the mouse cursor move...
• so out came the start menu...
• followed by desaturation of the desktop...
• then there was the shutdown option popup...
• and finally the blacking out until the laptop shuts down...

one thing lead to another... and i did that whole bunch. just because i started making one pixel art of my laptop. *ponders* but i'm really proud of this li'l piece! i shall work on more after this when i'm free!
