    Back in the day when the only copyright protection was scare tactics. Anyway looks like an ad for a software product, not actually anti-piracy propaganda. Nostalgic none the less. There was a time when all software was obtained through floppies. I sure was glad to see those go, damn things failed more often than they worked. I kept a big box of blank ones and copied everything off three times in case the first two failed.

        And I thought I was a holdout, didn’t remove the floppy drives from my home built desktop computers until like 2005.

        For what, if I may ask?

        I have a floppy case that I keep my old PS 1+2 and GC memory cards in, but that’s about as much use as I’ve got for the whole thing at this point, so I’m super curious.
