My 5 year old has done this a couple of times as well - I just has to adjust my semi-crazy mouse speed to her. :) I even saved the pics.
Another thing I distinctly remember is watching my das defragmentating the drive. I know that I at the same time hated it because it meant that we could not play games, but it was also strangely mesmerizing…
I feel you, eagle from the bottom picture, I feel you.
I feel you everytime I see myself in pictures - too bad I don’t have a side profile to rely on making me photogeneic. :(
