they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

Oh man for like a good five years there the market for the most extravagant shiny ridiculous blinky button filled stereo faces imaginable was a huge deal. I had completely forgotten about that and how stupid it seems looking back.

It took me like a week of trying to download those linux ISOs overnight in the 90s over dialup before it finally succeeded without some problem. I had just paid around $500 for a CD burner and blank CD-Rs were $9.99 each if I recall correctly, getting that ISO finally burnt successfully was quite an achievement. Then I installed it and of course nothing worked at all because drivers.

At some point later I got that lovely Wired CueCat thing working on linux and that was my peak accomplishment when it came to wasting time on lovely technologies for no reason. And then the CueCat site got hacked and they sent me a $10 gift certificate to Radio Shack to make up for that.
