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?
SP2 enters the chat…
Sup peeps. I’m stable af.
Oh…
I was thinking the album yes fragile. Check it out on on youtube. The song roundabout if nothing else.
The kids have heard that one, it’s the credits song on season 1 of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures.
Rick Beato thinks it’s great too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFisOTDzGuE
Real Gs had Windows XP Black Edition burned to a CD. This appears to be vanilla XP.
I’m this old
I remember when I first saw floppies and how amazing it was to load things instantly instead of waiting minutes for a game to load from a cassette tape.
Holy shit… I’m Pitfall old too. What a shit game.
This is so old, so old that Memorex is where my dad worked back in the day. I’m also old. Goddamnit.
Did your dad ever find out if it was real, or if it was Memorex?
ahh yes, the good old bunch of games on a disk. my grandpa went so hard that he had a printed catalog of which games were on which number-stickered disk
Non No Falsch Nee
all of those work in German.Fucking Geos man… I remember doing homework on its word processor…
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.
Fuck Windows XP
I think it’s allowed to hate anti-customer practices and have good memories of an actually somewhat user-friendly OS that just worked for many people in many other regards.
I hate Windows. I will always fondly remember XP and Win 7. Windows 7 should’ve been the last Windows.
So I am not mad at you. You shall be forgiven, and I am even going to turn the other cheek and give you an upvote. It’s what Windows XP would’ve wanted me to do, too, I am sure of it.

Windows 7 was the first and last version that I didn’t immediately (and lastingly) despise. Something something stopped clocks etc.
Your opinion shall forever be respected.
I remember a photo of a guy holding the burned XP CD while he’s standing at the front entrance of Microsoft. Pretty cool

That was stupid, posting your license key. Now I can use it too, thanks.
I think that’s the same key I had memorized when I worked for a sketchy PC repair place as a teen.
Another commenter posted, you can just get it from Wikipedia
Its been blacklisted by Microsoft for 20 years
Fucking Microsoft! Always ruining my plans!
And how many of them are scratched to death?
This was taken a few years back. They are all ona USB drive now.
My PC didn’t support boot from CD, so I had to use about 6 WinXP floppies just to load the necessary drives to install from the CD. Good times
I think we also had the Win 95 and 98 installallers somewhere although I learned how to do it when upgrading from 98 to ME
I’ve seen far more copies like this than original XP discs. It was the style at that time!
Original copies? WTF? I mean, I had this version too, but I never ever saw the originals my disks were a copy of.
Here in former Yugoslavia, we got one original copy that got distributed to (probably) the whole country. Old times were so fun.
lol same. I thought the originals were a myth.
Now I want to brag with my CPM3.0 floppies for the C128… But parents sold the computer when I wasn’t looking :(
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.
