I got a greeting card program (1 disk) 2 years ago for free. I was at a electronics vendor show. The software company Swift seem to be trying to get rid of their old disk programs. They had a couple bins full with a sign that said "Help yourself - Take as many as you like" . It actually was a nice thing for teachers/schools I thought

WTF? how much does Sim City 2000 take up?? thought it'd be more than 2 floppies
Yeah, only 2 floppies. It was the DOS version, which I bought on accident. I'd post a picture to prove it if I could find the disks.

About 3 months ago, i bought 7 Windows 3.1 install floppys for a Dell, because i accidentally erased my drive, and couldn't install Windows 98 from a upgrade CD. The Full install CD costs around $46.00! :rolleyes:

I'd rather not waste that kind of bandwith unless i'm making jokes. Besides; I hate it when people do that. :mad:

About the starting a new thread deal, ive noticed that when someone brings back an old thread, people always start *****en about bringing it back and that they should have created a new thread. But when someone starts a new thread, people always complain about how its already started. Just gets on my nerves sometimes.

I don't think ATIRAGEPRO has done any thing wrong.

Provided that the post was contructive and in the theme of the thread, I don't see any wrong.
