Here is what we put in the tiny boat.
1. CD-ROM of Internet Explorer.
Not a real CD-ROM of IE, that would be crazy. Why would we have that? No, we just took an empty CD case and pasted an IE label on it.
2.Erotica Erotica Erotica Erotica Erotica On-Line JPEG.
This is an actual porn advertisement JPEG from the ’90s internet. Doesn’t this lady arching boobs-first out of a mid-’90s PC take you back? Remember how Internet Explorer’s security was so bad that if you’d had your computer for more than a year, it was at least 70% porny viruses by weight? Memories.
3. Tabbed folder.
For the tabs Explorer did not have for way too long.
4. Crying Livejournal goat.
We don’t think Livejournal and IE were officially affiliated, but they both scream 2003. 
5. Effigy of Bill Gates.
Because the captain always goes down with the ship.
6. Boat.
Boat.

Mourners took a moment to reflect before sending the burning vessel out to sea (a grill we filled precariously with water).

Officiant Melinda lit the ceremonial flame, after mourner Zack doused the boat with the ceremonial lighter fluid.
