-For those among us of the pirate persuasion, I sympathize with you as well. Sharing floppy disks with friends is part of a long and glorious tradition.

Yes, that's what Blackbeard said. This isn't about money. It's about a vision. A vision of a world, a retro world, where things were different. I have a dream, a goal, a vision.
