Windows 95.

Disk 13: General failure reading disk

Me: Who the fuck is General Failure and why is he reading my disk?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Piracy having to occur in person was a short lived thing. Though even at that time BBSs were a thing, but I can't imagine how long that would have taken to download.
