Registered version of WinZip who's he trying to fool. :P Did you see the ancient gear in the background as he opened the package? Looks like a pile of "junk" as the author states before the timemark you gave that he got from a collector. So it's a bunch of old stuff that someone decided to clean out of their basement or garage, or the collector died and his family decided to get rid of junk that this guy sees as gold. You thought a round tin labelled "Intel" was fake? Since the collector has been collecting junk for decades (perhaps 3 decades since there was an IBM PC AT in the background), how do you know that Intel never delivered anything in a round tin with their logo on it that the collector decided to use for anti-static storage of an old 486DX CPU? I got rid of my old Pentium 100 (circa '94) a few months ago. Some folks still like playing really old games, like Zork (the very first one where you entered commands in a [DOS] console window to travel blind through a unseen maze and had to remember how to get where you were; see http://tinyurl.com/lpd6hj9 for example screen), which means having the really old platform (hardware and OS) on which to play it. I wasn't going to spend 40 minutes to watch the entire video to figure out what the hell you were whining about regarding WinZip. Presumably somewhere in the video the guy found some installation media for WinZip and it or he mentioned it was registered? And your point is what? That you are ignorant that WinZip was always a commercial product you had to PAY for to have a legit license of it? 1989 is a bit too long for me to remember if Nico Mak ever released a free version of WinZip. As I recall, WinZip was always shareware. What, you don't understand the concept of shareware and that you're expected to PAY for it (which often involves registration) if you continue using it past the trial period? |

Must be masochistic users putting up with Winzip nags. Just because you choose to steal shareware does not impugn the same behavior for other users. Up to 2007, the CEO was making $205K/yr before Corel acquired WinZip. Yeah, no one bought Winzip and that's why the CEO was making 10 times your salary. Uh huh. I tried hunting down a 2014 annual report for Corel to see if they delineated the revenue from WinZip sales but didn't find it. I wasn't going to dig through the SEC filing about revenue on a shareware product to argue with a thief. |
