    This comic is so old that at some point someone added Rage Comic faces on top of it, and that on itself must had happened more than 15 years ago.

      And ofc after that someone sloppified the Rage Comic version. You see the modified versions more often than the original.

      Aww man - I just found out that one of the hospitals I work for has an active license for WinZip…

      In the scale of dumb things to waste money on, WinZip is about as low as it gets (esp. in healthcare!), but still - it’s not like the poor bastards had any to begin with!

    After using winrar for years (after using rar years before that… not sure if it’s the same company), I finally bought to copies a few years back. One for myself, one as a Christmas gift to a friend.

      rar and winrar are from the same dude (Roshal ARchive, he named it after himself) and his brother handles the business side of things, been this way since the 90s. I THINK they’re still the owners of it. But these days, the company is registered in Germany and the legal representatives are actually some Turkish guys. I suspect it’s because they founded the company in Germany but live in Russia themselves and perhaps Germany requires legal representatives to be residents? Anyway the company’s been the main distributor since like 2002 so at the very least it’s still the same company it was 24 years ago.

    Reminds me of stupid me after I received a ginormous family inheritance I went through a phase of buying every stupid little thing that I would’ve never bought before. It was sometime around the implosion of the John McAfee empire debacle I was vaguely aware that something was going awry with him & the company but I was lost in my own little world buying post-it notes at a Staples store.

    At the checkout counter the employee brought my attention to a small display of heavily discounted McAfee antivirus software something-something for only $5 and all my conscious brain knew at the time was

    “Wow, didn’t that used to cost $40-$75? and McAfee has been in the news lately. I have no idea what’s going on but yes I will pay $5 for this thing.” 🤦🏼‍♀️

    It was completely useless and I doubt I ever took it out of the package before eventually throwing it away.
