This was the official logo of the Shareware Marketing company (later Atlantic Coast plc and SWREG), and was officially registered as a trademark in 1989. It depicts a floppy disk being passed from one person to another. Shareware Marketing's slogan was "One day, all software will be sold this way".

is anyone gonna mention it or
This is incredibly cursed and I hate that you have passed the burden of this knowledge onto us.
10/10, good re-chost or share or retoot or whatever we're calling it these days.
i hate the internet for cursing me and not seeing anything else but
yaknow.
Iβve scrolled past this half a dozen times over the past few days and only now, am i comprehending.
Hey - you remember how kids these days don't know what the "save" icon even is, because they've never seen a 3.5" floppy, so they make random but reasonable guesses? Yeah...
I love my friends
And they love me.
We're just as close
As we can be.
And just because
We really care
Whatever we get
We share(ware).

I hope Agnes didn't mind him taking her picture.
...well, one quick look into the history of goatse and I realize it's just a case of things aging very, very poorly
The .cx TLD didn't even exist until 1997, so if anything, goatse is imitating the official logo of shareware
we were all thinking it, but you were brave enough to do it. ππ½
