    Look, I remember the “good old days“. It was 1994, and I was doing my best to pirate Adobe Photoshop 2.5 so that I could make fake IDs and print them out on my new-fangled Canon “BubbleJet” 250C printer.

    The early 90s… The “digital age”…, New York State was the first to make “digital ID cards“ and they were crap. Extremely easy to make fake ones, and I did — for years.

    It was a while before New York State finally started producing ID cards and drivers license licenses that weren’t garbage. But those early days… I made some good bank making fakes. It was very very easy.

        Omg, yeah, right about the same time, lol

        My first encounter with Linux was spending almost 3 days downloading the source code for Red Hat 2.0 and then spending another two or three days compiling that shit into 9-13 floppy images. Then trying to install it.

        Then, a few months later, red hat 2.5 comes out with pre-compiled binaries. I was so fucking pissed…
