  • CD? Hah! Luxury!

    We 'ad to install off floppy disk! And the disks had bad sectors and the drive kept grinding them down! Then we ‘ad to build the kernel wi’ two bare hands! And the only window manager we 'ad would spontaneously delete itself and we’d 'ave to start all over at 2am, half an hour before we finished the last install!
