    Games used to come with books to read, and their anti-piracy measure was to give you a page number and tell you to enter the first word on the page to activate the software.

    Of course, you’d copy that floppy and write the code word on the label for your friends.

      I miss manuals.

      Used to rip open the shrink wrap with my teeth and pour over the manual in the backseat of the car on the way home when I was a kid.
