Just in time for Halloween comes this special ultra-morbid computer software ad from 1983. I’ll have to admit that I’ve felt this way about computers myself more than a few times — especially back in the Windows 98 days. Luckily I didn’t go this far, or else I wouldn’t be here today writing for you.
I’m just glad this isn’t an ad for a computer version of Hangman.

Oooh, I remember Locksmith! It was a wonderful little program for making copies of even copy protected disks. It was the first weapon in my Apple 2 arsenal. I haven’t thought about it in years!
