Does it count if I'm not actually the one who did the giving-away?
As a kid I had a C64. Tons of classic games, including a hacked version of Gyruss that let you specify up to 255 lives when you booted the game (any higher than that and the addressing problems were masked by a hilarious error that said "There are limits to all good things.")
Well, every mom knows that computers are just for playing games. So, when I got my Genesis for my 8th birthday, I didn't need that silly old Commodore anymore. Sold. Garage sale. $15.
It wasn't until much later that I realized the true horror of what she had done.
Similarly, for a while we had a (crappy) old IBM PS/2 with a (decidedly not-so-crappy) IBM Model-M keyboard. Got rid of the whole shebang when we got a (turned-out-to-be-just-as-crappy-god-damn-I-hate-Celerons) HP Pavilion with an (also-crappy) HP "Too goddamn many media player buttons" keyboard.
I need to mod a Model-M keyboard to connect to a C64. That would be pretty badass.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
It is not my custom to go where I am not invited.
