Well, I should have Magic User Interface CD for Amiga 3.1 in somewhere. Didn’t find it right now.

That was stupid, posting your license key. Now I can use it too, thanks.

Typing CD keys was such a feeling when it was for a brand new game you can't wait to play, pure despair if you mistyped something and it didn't accept but then you corrected the error, biggest sense of relief of my childhood

I'm this old

Finally, now I don't need to have to call a number to get my XP activated, I can just use this.

For those not in the know, XP's activation requirements are so harsh that your computer just gets disabled completely after the 30 day grace period if you don't activate at all. I live in a place where people really don't tend to buy operating systems, so this was a gigantic letdown.

You know what? Fuck Windows XP. There. I said it. And I'm taking the downvotes without remorse.

Ahhh, the good old copy of windows xp that was stolen from Microsoft a month before release and spread it's beautiful self all around the world, I had that code memorised for a long while, I called it the fuck code.

This is the internet. You can say "fuck GW", it's fine

I had the same key on my XP disc.

This is the oldest I currently have pictures of.

The fact I recognise that key.

(Also my husband agrees with me that looks eerily like my handwriting and is the kind of disk i used OP are you in Australia...)

Hey, that's MY activation key!

Even still have a copy of 98

I recently cleaned out some boxes of random stuff I had in one of my wardrobes and found several discs like this, some with Ubuntu 5-8.04, random drivers and other fun stuff. Huge nostalgia trip going through them. I also found this CD my dad gave me when I was 20 and had just started smoking weed:

(the title is in Swedish and means "a chill disc")

Sadly lost him in December last year, RIP dad. I normally don't smoke anymore but I'm gonna get a small piece of hash and smoke it while playing this in memory of him.

Should have left "Win XP" out. We know FCKGW. ☺️

I’m trying to get my 89 year old dad to set aside the tapes of the first games I programmed on our Commodore 64 in like 1983 when he moves this year. I really want them.

Early mud stuff. I’ll post it if he finds it.

Unethical life pro trip. If you are installing windows xp through 7 and need a license key, just search on eBay for "Laptop Parts Only" and find an auction where someone was nice enough to post one.

Floppy disk with Win 3.11

I remember a photo of a guy holding the burned XP CD while he's standing at the front entrance of Microsoft. Pretty cool

SP2 enters the chat........

Sup peeps. I'm stable af.

The key that's so commonly used, it's in Wikipedia.

Does it count that I am 20 and have spindles of blank old CD/DVD?

At one point in my life I had the XP VLK for my university memorized. Now all I remember is the end: BGDBB.
