This is a question Old stuff I still know

Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

Well, not obsolete...
...but one of the techies I work with knows the license keys for all of the software he has to install. One of them is TWENTY-EIGHT CHARACTERS long!

That's just bizzare.
Is his name Raymond?

Mind you, in the 90's, when Microsoft used that vastly complicated encryption routine for Windows software (any number so long as it's divisible by 7), we used to be able to impress the secretaries by 'hacking' the install disks using an HP scientific calculator to get the key.

Yeah
I used to be able to make up Win95 license keys that would work.

I can do that
Well, could. Maybe not so much now, but Windows and Office keys are 25 characters and I knew at least three of them. I've just got the sort of memory that retains them. Being able to recite credit card numbers is another good one.
