Don't forget Winblows

Another oldie

"If you play the Win98 CD backwards, it summons Satan. It's worse when you play it forwards - it installs Windows"

Ah, good times... :-)

  • I have a "quotes.txt" from slashdot days with some MS jabs in it:

    > Last week, I left my 2 XP CDs on my dashboard in plain view. Someone broke into my car and left 2 more.

    > The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

    > A Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer is to computing what a McDonalds Certified Food Specialist is to fine cuisine

    Juvenile some might say, but they still makes me giggle.

    • Greetings fellow old person. You totally took me back to 2000. And here’s me thinking I was the only one harvesting pithy quotes from /.

      I always loved the “doesn’t suck vacuum”, but amazingly never came across the Win98 CD line. Love it.

Outbreak Express!

  • It was "Outhouse Express" and "GruntPage" for me in the late 90s. I still use these for software I find particularly irksome, for example Conscrewence from AtlASSian.
