Which was your favorite MSN Wink back then?
The famous Laughing Girl and me:)
Dear MSN Buddies!
I have a nostalgia triggering invention, I brought those iconic MSN Winks (about 300) back to life with NETRO-G (where Neo and Retro merge into a smart Gadget)! I even transformed myself into the beloved, hated and now missed Laughing Girl! :)
Now you can live in the 2000's era again, while keeping up with the latest technology and play all your favorites on your smartphone! No apps, no extensions, your Winks are literally just a hover away! :)
Every step (searching for, rescuing, drawing, converting, printing, programming long lost winks, assembling and testing the gadget) was entirely made by me.
IMPORTANT: I am still in the market research phase, so I am posting this to ask for YOUR honest opinions, if my invention makes sense, if there is a need for it, and if I have to create more Winks (and videos) in the form of a NETRO-G gadget.
If you are interested, check out my YT channel, NETRO-G for more funny intro videos. Have a great day and thank you for your input in advance!

Hi everyone! First of all, a massive THANK YOU to the Escargot team and this community for keeping MSN Messenger alive. I am an active user, and I still use the software to this day thanks to the Escargot Guys!
As an independent
hardware developer, I wanted to bring a piece of our childhood into the real
world. So, I spent months building NETRO-G (a smart Gadget that combines
Neo+Retro)—physical, premium acrylic gadgets with built-in NFC chips.
I collected over 300 long
lost but never forgotten MSN Winks. When you tap your smartphone against the
keychain, your favorite winks instantly burst onto your screen with their
original animations and high-volume sound effects!
I wanted to share this
with the community that truly understands the magic of MSN. Here is a picture
of the finished prototypes from my workshop. If you need more info on this,
please check out this video (and the others too on my channel, NETRO-G): https://youtu.be/C9kQ67qCdwA to
see those crazy and funny, even very special and rare Winks in action.
Halloween is approaching, check the "evil" pumpkin, the zombie or the
headless knight in action! :)

Nostalgia fb group, NETRO where Neo and Retro merges into a creative community

good old MSN days! :)
