like what bro do you think i just? made it up? just said shit for no reason? i don't have time to fuck around with this, and version 3, where they dropped the copy protection, only runs from a hard drive.

you didn't just make shit up for no reason, but this bro goes "There is no copy protection on Lotus 123 for DOS." like it's the most clear and obvious factual statement, like saying the sky is blue. didn't even bother with the most basic of research, but did bother to try and sound like a confident, smug authority in a youtube comment for ??? reasons. or maybe they asked ChatGPT and took it at its word, god i've seen too much of that
that's really the thing that bothers me. if he'd said "i've never seen a copy of lotus 1-2-3 with copy protection, I think you're mistaken", I'd have been like "okay that's fair, I'll reassess" but to just walk in and bluntly go "you're wrong. you're a liar" is a dick thing to do. i do not countenance rudeness in my comments no matter how wrong I am. I've been corrected on some real humdingers, but nobody gets to be rude to me.
