I think all the CP/M stuff went at last clear out.
Well, I think I left Spring Chicken behind some wrinkles ago and yes, we have all that crap too or did. Wordstar, CP/M, damn. You're bringing back some nostalgia, bro!

OH COME ON, those damned AOL CDs were still coming around well into the 2000's I think. I was always gobsmacked by that, that they just...kept on keeping on.

On the other hand, though, you'd be shocked at how many customers I have that still have, no kidding, AOL, MSN, Hotmail or Yahoo email addies. It always amazes me, what people will do or give up for freebies. I've never had a free email addy in my life and don't plan to start now. Sure, sure, call me paranoid, but I just don't wish to be the product.

Never forget what Paul Newman said: if you look around the poker table and you can't tell who the sucker is--it's you.
