Picture of strange ad

This guy has actually put in an ad in one of Sweden’s biggest newspapers, selling a copy of MSDOS 5.0 for 50 kronor, equivalent to 5 US dollars. And he paid to get large text in the ad. Why?

The above was posted to my personal weblog on May 18, 2002. My name is Peter Lindberg and I am a thirtysomething software developer and dad living in Stockholm, Sweden. Here, you’ll find posts in English and Swedish about whatever happens to interest me for the moment.
