Why? Because we can.

Messing about inside Windows XP and I noticed an unusual .ini file lurking in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory called oeminfo.ini, and a corresponding bitmap file, oemlogo.bmp

So I edited it as follows:

[General]
Manufacturer=Insane Seal Enterprises
Model=Alpha


And stuck in a new oemlogo.bmp (the size, after measuring is 140x114). Lo and behold, the System Information panel changes.

Now if the royalties would just roll in, you'd be set.

Royalties. Now that would be a thing. I must register the company and get it set up.
