Maybe some of Europe’s surfeit of demo coders had to make their money somehow, and one of them persuaded a pharmacy that paying them to make them a sign with graphics that spin in eyecatching ways would be a good idea, and the rest was history?
Ha ha. Demo scene coders in the wild.
2kb apoteke demo comp 2024!
Hahahaha imagine if someone got doom running on one of those signs
I'm about 101% sure it's possible, +-1.1%
They don't even need to persuade individual pharmacies. In my country, there is a trade organization of pharmacies that self-regulates the industry and decides, among other things, on the short list of companies whose crosses are allowed to be installed. There are only 6 so getting on that list will give anyone a huge number of orders.
That could be what happened, but at a factory. I've noticed that a lot of them have similar graphics, so it might be a preset added in by the manufacturer.
