I was so good and so careful with my printing when I had to write cd keys down. Nothing like burning something off of your summer vacation friend and then having them go back to the city and you're off by... something.

Press play, FF, together. Count the gaps.

before this one, I had a Windows 2000 Professional one with the local education department's VL key

Is the implication that this was for someone who was a kid growing up then? Or just that this was a prominent memory of an older teen? Something else?

I feel the same way about my Composite to SCART adaptor cable

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have one, and I'm in North America... I saw it at a thrift store and recognized it, not something I expected to see at a Goodwill.

Yeah American TVs never seem to have them. I'm not sure why.

They were awful actually, they were far larger than they needed to be and they were very much like USB in that you needed to turn them over three times in order to insert them. It's not even as if the picture quality was even any better than composite so I don't know why we bothered.

I think it was based on the 1960s VTR connector on studio equipment, or Cinch-Jones connectors from WWII. Quite large, yes. I think the connector could carry composite as well as RGB signals, and have various pass through modes.

Trust me when I say that Windows 98, and even Windows 95 got burned to a ton of CDs.

We even upgraded Windows ME one day, huge mistake. At least XP came along soon after.

Not real. The Bs and 8s are clearly different.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

So do they hate GW or do they want to have sexual intercourse with them?

MS-DOS 3 on 5 1/4" floppies.
