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

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.

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...)

I can remember installing Windows 95 with floppy disks, that was slow. XP was great because you could finally do minor things and it not require a reboot.

I still have 46 disks of Office floating around somewhere

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If you do post them, let me know. I'll spin up an emulator and give them a try!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I will! Just so you know, I was 12, so I cant vouch for the quality of writing or gameplay, lol.

I memorized that key from pure usage. Good times.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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

Hey, that's MY activation key!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

This is the oldest I currently have pictures of.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You have spindles of spindles? That counts, yes.

I actually had a Windows 98 CD at one point. Copied/ pitated, of course. The keys that I had were kinda stolen from the IT department that I was working for, at the time.

Only kinda stolen. The company was required to have a ridiculous amount of OEM keys. There were only 200 people working at CR back then, that needed Windows 98 rather than Windows NT, and of course there were the 8 Linux/Unix guys that IT mostly ignored, except for their connection to the intranet.

IT could buy 100 keys, or 250 keys. There was no option to buy two groups of 100 keys back in 1998. So we had about 56 keys just laying around that a few of us in IT just kinda took. We also took a total of 300 Windows NT licences, but I kinda doubt that any of managed to even give away a license of WNT.

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.

Not exactly Workbench 1.3 disk 1 is it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Came here to post just that :D

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At least 35. Maybe closer to 40.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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