Time to pick that apart.

Where did they get the game from in the first place? Didn't they pay for it? Who's PC are they on to need to copy something to play later & elsewhere? I never knew diskettes had an autorun capability. And that rapper needs to lay off the Starbucks for a year.

Diskettes were (some still are) self-boot. That's how you ran DOS or played games. You had to reboot when you wanted to play another game.


BTW, that little girl in the PSA grew up to be a nice piece of ay-us. 8)

Ah yes, Don't copy the floppy indeed.

You have to reboot for it to autouse the disk. CDs you stick it in and it has an autorun feature. Their PC was on, they stick the disk in and the rapper pops up like he's had a 6-pack of Red Bull downed in less than 5 min.

That was annoying!!!!
