I’m old enough to remember this….
It’s past your bedtime grandpa.
It likely is….
Now get off my lawn!!!
Wait, you’re telling me the files are IN the computer?
Microsoft: we’ll make long-ass cd keys so they’re difficult to memorize and pirate
18-year-old me: hold my cherry coke
hold my Surge
Take a lighter. Hold it to the clear side of the disk. Once it’s good and hot take the lighter and drop it through the other side.
Lol no you blow a bubble with it.
…that cd-key is etched into my brain.
Thanks for the free key sucker 😎
Yes. Next to my Windows 7 and BeOS CDs
I still have mine around here, somewhere! It’s WinXP Media Center 2005. That I still use on my Dimension E510.
Don’t forget the classic:
Savage
Remember? I have the disc in a box next to me
I have a couple dozen. LoL 😂
Same lmao
I’m old enough to remember Win3.0 and the 10-digit activation codes that were valid if they were mod-7. Yes, that did include 000-0000000.
Nice.
I recall my win95 key.
I say “my” like I’d paid for it. Really it was just one that worked.
Our activation key, comrade!
I can remember that code of the top of my head, quarter a century later. Lunch yesterday?? Hahaha no
Bruh, I remember 5.25” floppies.
I have an unopened box of 5.25" floppies in the attic, still in their shrink wrap. I’m not holding my breath for them to come in handy any time soon.
And 5 1/4” hard drives.
Ah, yes, full height 5 1/4" hard drives. (CD drives in desktop computers are “half height”)
20 MB BABY! (Slaps the top of his Amstrad 1512 CGA overclocked to 8mhz 8086)
Epson Equity II, with a “hard card”. Regular hard disks took up the second floppy drive slot; the hard card let you keep it.
I had hundreds of 5.25" floppies with pirated Apple II games.
I even owned a 9" floppy disk drive and a few disks, but just as a novelty.
We even got that damn zip disk drive for a while. 28k modem days, I was telecommuting via floppy and usps
I had the same one! Except that it said “Mandrake”. Apart from that, it was almost identical.
