"We offer a replacement"/"one year warranty" - Now how will that help me now, with my original 80$ floppy games with read/write error? The only way to get a functioning disk again is by getting a pirated disk, that guys like this made back then....

[imjustatwat]

fuk sake that draper looks like a ape that had a wee shave but missed a few spots lol

[TheHeartAttackDon]

im KING i understand whats is happening its all about marketing loser mark ripley

[ViporVlogs]

this is why open source will always win,you dont want to spend $600 on software then get the next best thing,open sourced software,linux :)

If everyone bought their copy and didn't pirate, the cost would NOT go down. Greedy corporations are greedy. They would just be like, ohh more money and bigger bonuses for me! Oh hey let's charge even more!

1200 baud modem FTW!

[hartattackdon]

been a fan since i got my comadore 64 late june 82 i also use to try catn crucnch whistle into telephone!!! the good old days

[zalerner]

[jugglingembalmer]

Quite a bitch much more.

[aeromech99]

If people didnt pirate the cost would go down? BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.

[cobrachoppergirl]

LOL, I still got his business card, my beige box he signed for me, and the business card of the people making the amateur film on him at the time. Maybe when he kicks the bucket I'll put it up on Ebay. Not worth anything as long as he's still alive. He won't sign anything Capt Crunch anymore, he goes by Crunchman. So i may have the only telephone piece of anything left around signed Capt Crunch. If you meet him in real life, do *NOT* do his energy workouts popping your back with him!!!

[cobrachoppergirl]

Wow, I've met him in real life long after he went down the toilet and became a total gay freak. Odd to see him rational and sane at a younger age. I had him sign my handmade lineman's handset (beige box) I used to tap into third party payphones to make free calls with his old nick Capt Crunch. They were interviewing him at the time for a movie; what they didn't know was me standing right there was carding the hell out of ATM machines!!! If they knew, would of made him look like an amateur.

[fasolplanetarium]

@cobrachoppergirl He's gay? I hear a lot of people talking about how freaky this guy is. what's the deal?

[muddwell]

[ssgohan296]

"I wish I had brought a 1200 baud modem, that way it would go faster."

[adryanv]

Ohh the grand daddy of P2P

[semtex2you]

ha. i laughed strawberryfields1982. krist, i know mr draper. he's still selling himself. sold out from the beginning. john, you are nearly a laugh but really a cry. take your DMS and stick it up ya crossbar. the soup is what tells you who is wrong and who is workin the cheese box. oi!

[brpadington]

I love how the software companies blame pirates for high prices when they should really be blaming economics. The more people that are willing and able to buy the more it will sell. A game at 50 dollars will have a smaller potential customer base than a program that is 25 dollars. and a side effect of low price is very low amounts of pirating.

[xmare]

Cool stuff! :)

[strawberryfields1982]

Captain Crunch my arse it's Gerry Adams! Before they legalized his voice! Oh my goodness it is the best comb over ever the guy below me wasn't exaggerating! How the fuck did they keep a straight face Class!

[SpazzoidStudio]

This is just fantastic to show the "new and ignorant" generation that BBS systems were around before the internet and how far it's all come... with the the first graphical computer. Back then.. You had to KNOW how to really use computer code and how to hack around it.

[edtronic]
