This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If you manage to find an updated browser and don't host any network service it shouldn't be too dangerous.

You are still vulnerable to every kind of vulnerability in every program that processes a file you download. Particularly parsers (e.g. XML, images, PDFs,...) tend to have a lot of those over the years.

If he's checking his bank account on there then you're still pretty bad. Downloading dubious cracked software is never a good start.
