Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio (newslttrs.com)

I always dumpster dived for computers.

We played the same game! Thats how I ended up with a DEC pizza box (multia with an alpha 166 processor) and a SparcStation. Then I'd take them over with me to the computer show (it was more like a flea market, its unfortunate they no longer exist) after I played with them to trade - thats how I was able to get my hands on a 1x (yes you read that right) CD burner.

Good times!
