I used the key displayed on the blackboard. Some fellow students heard of this and being programmers them selves, were outraged. I believe they were correct, as I find it distasteful to burn songs over the internet as they did themselves. But I satiated them by purchasing XP Pro. They made a fuss that I couldn't have got a real copy of it for the price I paid for it. I pointed out that I am indeed a student as they were and were entitled to those low rates but there were caveats to it that they needed to be aware of. But you can ask any computer nerd and he will have a solution to your solution. I gave away my info. on the deal where even computer teachers weren't aware of it. I must have made six figures for Microsoft in a manner of weeks. My information was photo copied and spread all over school bulletin boards and those of the faculty as well in a manner of hours.; ▶ Reply to This

It had a couple of games, sold separately of course. I also had the internet ,but they didn't call it that yet. It was a way to bet on football out of Los Vegas.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Buzz 2 hours ago: my first computer was one I built in 1985. It was an 8086 processor with 64K of RAM, a 5 1/2" floppy drive and an IBM 10 megabyte harddrive running first CPM, then PC-DOS, then updated to MS-DOS. I had a amber monitor. I eventually upgraded the memory to a whapping 128k.; ▶ Reply to This
