I always found it weird that games like Sim City 2000 wanted to be registered to a company when you installed them.

For at least the last 25 years all my software has been registered to The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

What do you like to put here?

I tend to put in "Bad" if it insists, as in keep bad company, and imagine it's asking what kind of company do you keep... though I guess it's unfair to people round about and I should give them the benefit of the doubt and start using "questionable" but it's longer to type.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Compu-Zone. It's the name of the 'computer company' I 'owned' in 7th grade. ...And by company I mean... A logo I made and put on my computers.

I thought it was cool in 7th grade and it's a fun throwback to cringier times.

When I finally got Windows 3.11 installed in PCem I put "TEAM NOTHING" as the "Organization" when putting in the user information.

I also use "TEAM NOTHING" in a lot of other things; "Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries", "Starsiege", "Starsiege: Tribes", etc...

"Stanley Stickyfingers"

But I like the company the OP chose even better! "The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation"

There was a real software company called "Sirius" in the early '80s of course.

Allways for years i have put Cyberdyne. But lately I never left it blank but put None. Because some software still need a company name.

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.
