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.

I memorised this key, mainly due to LAN parties, since someone would always have some issue that needed them to reinstall Wndows. To this day i can recite it in full at any time. Also my library card number from when i was 12 (in case i forgot my card at home).

Not real. The Bs and 8s are clearly different.

Press play, FF, together. Count the gaps.

Somehow upgrading from MS-DOS 3.30 to 5.0 was alright, but 6.22 seemed like a lot of clutter. QEMM386 was the shit. My 8088 got the coprocessor upgrade at some point I'm Geoworks old. With the C64 on the side

I was so good and so careful with my printing when I had to write cd keys down. Nothing like burning something off of your summer vacation friend and then having them go back to the city and you're off by... something.
