I remember getting demo disks from the computer shows in the area. It was literally a bunch of tables in a warehouse looking like a large garage sale and you could buy everything from games, to software, to stolen music, to high end computers, graphics programs, and production quality paper/card stock. There was no such thing as downloading a game back then.

Seriously off the fucking tracks on this thread. Also, lack of updates is making a fun story in my head. @PrimeMotoring is probably like, where do we even start with a post?

l used to go to those with my uncle all the time. One time he bought some bulk CDs. Anyway, he didn't know what a CD was or how it functioned just that you burn stuff on it or whatever. So he opened the pack and one was scratched and since the CD is a plastic disc with the layer on top it was see through. So he thought it was fake and brought it back and argued with the guy for a refund

DoS on floppy disks and no such thing as hard drives? Swapping disks back and forth, back and forth, back and forth just to get some stupid rom to load.

I think i just showed my age here?!

And you had to boot from a floppy with a config.sys file specially written to free up memory.

I'm still out about $200 bucks I probably wont see again.

And from @FT-86 SpeedFactory 100% vendor rating of 70 I think they have proven they have met that higher standard.

So what's the status on your car @Frs300? Been away from the forum for the most part as I've lost all interest in the fa20 lol minus my for sale thread. Crazy shit about to take place in my build thread soon though.
