        Man, I had a girlfriend once like 20 years ago who’s dad knew I was into computers and he was so proud to show me this neat Banzai Buddy software he found, he thought he was so cool.

      It wasn’t official right from MS then. Some stupid people even behaved as if MS were the good guys (who’d also never do something like this).
