I used to have stacks of papers with passwords for games written on them. Some games used icons for passwords, like what was it Castlevania III? So I’d have to make grids with holy water and axes and whips and shit. lol

We didn’t jump into a home computer until the Pentium days. First PC was a Pentium 1. 120 mhz.
The first PC I bought with my own money was a Pentium 2. From Gateway 2000. Remember that shit? The boxes with the cow spots on them? I think that was a home to being a South Dakota based company.

Maybe it wasn’t South Dakota based. I think they had roots in South Dakota.

I grew up in a small town.
I made a lot of money in high school buying a cd-burner. Kids would bring me their neoprene CD cases with like 400 fucking CD’s in them, and with a “play list” of specific cd’s, specific tracks, and in what order they wanted them burned.
I also wrote a lot of senior book reports for the senior class for money, because they were fucking dumb as shit and I was smart as shit. I also got protection at parties. And shitloads of Magic the Gathering cards. Shrug. I felt like I came out ahead there at the time.
