I memorized that key from pure usage. Good times.

Oh wow you just reminded me I did too at one point. Wild to think back on that part of my life, I've barely touched windows in over 10 years but man at one point so much of my brain was filled with windows related junk

Leaked an installation key? Microsoft is gonna send a helicopter to raid you....

[–] Zerfallen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I memorised this key, mainly due to LAN parties, since someone would always have some issue that needed them to reinstall Wndows. To this day i can recite it in full at any time. Also my library card number from when i was 12 (in case i forgot my card at home).

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.

I’ll take my huge stack of Windows 3.1 floppies and see myself out.

Me: This, but Office 2000.

At least 35. Maybe closer to 40.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

I was going to disagree with you because I had a copy of Windows XP on the disc in my drawer, but then I remembered that I am 35 so thanks for that.

Press play, FF, together. Count the gaps.

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

Somehow upgrading from MS-DOS 3.30 to 5.0 was alright, but 6.22 seemed like a lot of clutter. QEMM386 was the shit. My 8088 got the coprocessor upgrade at some point I'm Geoworks old. With the C64 on the side

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

damn now my XP serial is public for everyone, I thank you NOT!

University keys are available online.

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

lollers I was just going through my stuff and agonizing if I should chuck my XP stuff.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Well you're a huge nerd!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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