Counter-Strike CD - the most feared item a student could bring to primary school.

If there was Counter-Strike 1.6 on GOG (so DRM-free), I'd buy it just to burn it on a CD, and be able to bring a Counter-Strike CD to a LAN party or other social gathering.

Unfortunately, no Counter-Strike 1.6 on GOG.

does anyone want the weird bag that comes attached to the top of 1990s hp oscilloscopes

i have no use for it but i'm having a sudden moment of fear that i will throw it away and then next week some fedi retrocomputing person will be looking for that exact bag to complete their collection of weird bags that come attached to the top of 1990s oscilloscopes, and get mad at me for throwing away such a rare find
