Please enter your PIN# for assistance.

The current Downloads page is an ATM-themed source for official Homestar Runner things:

• Downloadable Icons
• Wallpaper
• Songs
• Strong Bad Clock
• Quotes Packs
• System Sounds

Page Title: $2.00 Service Charge!!

Easter Eggs

Secure card it is not

• Clicking on the "$" button brings up Current balance is 0.00 dollars. Clicking on "0.00" will bring up a draggable credit card (registered to Lem Sportsinterviews). Clicking on the upper left corner of that card will reveal the backside of it, as well as the PIN. Inserting the card, then entering the PIN (5675) will unlock a secret section of Homsar Quotes Pack.
• In the songs list, clicking on the names of The Skate Party, DaVinci's Notebook, and They Might Be Giants leads to their respective websites.

Fun Facts

Trivia

• Typing in the wrong PIN results in the screen displaying "Wrong PIN#!! I bet you stole this card!" Notably, this will happen on the first wrong digit entered, rather than after the fourth digit is placed.
• The reflection on the screen of the ATM is the same as the Corpy NT6 email menu.
• The back of Lem's card reads:

This is a magnificent card. Superfied Credit Union is THE NAME in magnificence. Of crads, at least. I mean cards. PIN#:5675

• There is also another version of the downloads page, available at downloads.html. There is a white border around the ATM, the ATM is smaller, and the Strong Bad clock link leads to the first set of Homestar desktop icons.

Remarks

• The "NEW!" sign has remained on the Graphics Menu button since shortly after the email "army" (January 7, 2004).
• The phrase "PIN#" is an example of RAS syndrome, due to the "N" already standing for "Number".
• The "exit" button links to only Main Page 7.
• Clicking on The Skate Party leads to a GeoCities site which is no longer available. This is because Yahoo! shut down GeoCities worldwide in 2009 and later in Japan in 2019.

Glitches

• Since the post-Flash update, the credit card can no longer be dragged to the slot — clicking it just makes it disappear, and it cannot be brought back by clicking the "0.00". Thus, the only way to access the Homsar quotes is by viewing the Flash file directly, right-clicking and then entering the PIN.

Inside References

• The PIN for the ATM is the first four digits of Homestar Runner's account mentioned in the email credit card. The Superfied Credit Union is also from credit card.

Real World References

• The homester.html file name is a reference to Napster, a carryover from the Oldest Downloads Menu which directly referenced the service in its interface.
