Oh, hello there. What's a patron like you doing in a place like this? You come here often? Here, have a love letter I've written to you even though we don't know each other *WINK WINK*

Sooooo yeah, this is a thing. 101 Love Letters, a Windows PC application from 1995 by Great Bear Technology. Because uh, other things weren't ready yet and it'll be Valentine's Day when this goes live.

And yes, it really is just a piece of software dedicated to writing love letters. Or to be more specific, it's a badly-made piece of software dedicated to providing pre-written love letters that you fill out like a Mad Libs page.

I've had this thing lounging on the shelf for the better part of a decade so it's been on the back burner for long enough. Enjoy the general protection faults and dividing by zero! Doesn't get much more romantic than that.

Oh, Clint. You shouldn't have! 🥰

Hilarious as always! Great video! This make want to watch the cheesy pop star equestrian and mall games videos again.

Wow that video contained almost double the double entendres i'm used to seeing in your videos! Steamy.

Roses are red, violets are blue, Clint's in my head, now I'm creeping on you!

A love letter dedicated software? How can it possibly go wrong? (notices the first word in the list is Aids) Well...

The only reason why I got married was to wake up in the delight of her pancakes. She's a pastry chef.

Roses are red, woodgrain is brown Notes to Duke Nukem turn my frown upside down.

I feel like wrapping yourself a weighted blanket while eating from a heart shaped box of chocolates and watching Cheesey movies would have been a more healthy way to deal with crippling loneliness than sending out form letter spam. Did the software break because the inputs didn't come from an excel contacts list? 😉 I guess if tinder is too personal for you than you can use something like Mail Merge. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_merge Here's a free Google docs how to do it if anyone actually wants to learn how to personalize modern spam. 🤣😜https://developers.google.com/docs/api/samples/mail-merge

There are more than several benefits to total anonimity.

Now I'm curious to know if ANY of these discs ever worked on Win 3.1 machines..but hey you got it installed on Win98, so yeah who knows maybe the program got recalled and you got one of the leftovers...could just have been a corrupted floppy but dang..probably there isn't any archives of it anywhere online...too obscure.. cool that you got a letter ro print out though..

Wouldn't a printed out love letter feel a whole lot less romantic anyway? Let alone not even writing it yourself.

Vladimir Vyun

Wow, I feel the weight of your sweetness... ahem, sorry. I mean, what a weird program.

Peter Metzger

This video and software are fantastic. I hit pause so many times to read the letters 😂

LazyGameReviews

No kidding. Who knew retro tech YouTubers would get so many highly forward proposals! Half a dozen marriage proposals as well, so that's... a thing.

LazyGameReviews

Indeed, it's hard to find any information about it whatsoever! Just some basic info on EliSoftware and a couple listings in the back of an old magazine or two.

LazyGameReviews

Yeeeaaah the entire concept of canned form letters for the purposes of romance is a tad inauthentic. Or at the very least uninspired.

LazyGameReviews

Haha. I am already anticipating an inordinate amount of "love letters" sent to me as a result of this video, largely consisting of quotes from letters shown.

LazyGameReviews

Just what I like to hear :D I always take the opportunity to densely pack these kinds of videos with silliness. Anything that lets you input your own text is a content gold mine.

Vlaphor

Did I read that wrong or are there several form letters for "Sorry I gave you an STD"?

LazyGameReviews

They're more along the lines of "I have a transmittable disease and thought you should know before things go further."

Happy Valentines Clint! Roses are red, jazz Jack rabbit is green, LGR channel is the best I've ever seen

I really miss system requirements being a thing. I was always anxious and a little excited to read system reqs on boxes. Especially when I still had a 386 and games were needing a 486DX2 or DX4 or *gasp* a Pentium. I'd then flick through magazines at the prebuilt systems and components and dream about what it would be like to have such a powerful system.

So, this is what inspired Fallout 76.

You should send your Patreon subscribers some love letters since you love us so much😉 seriously though these letters are hilarious, so cheesy

avfusion

Sounds like the software was its own love letter to a version of windows it'd never meet normally.

Made me smile. Job well done. Thanks.

I don't think I've laughed this hard at one of your videos since Ninja Nanny. And wow, I assumed you had written those AIDS letters as a background gag. What a program.

Alyxx the Rat

I like my disks with high density, thank you

Hahaha when you’re Angry in love and need help expressing it! This is solid gold, Clint! I’ve never laughed so hard of your videos before, this was one of the very best! Thank you for making my day! Also, your poetic skills are 110% 😂

Dear LGR, Our love was pushing up roses. But your PICKLE JAR of a letter has brought me back to my senses. Lets go on a Duke's Quest together! Call me, 867-5309

Any chance you can upload the software to Archive.org? I'm curious to see if it works without crashing on my HP Vectra running Win 3.1.

Lennart Sorensen

Hmm what date is your machine set to? Y2k problem? Screen resolution problem? Crappy software problem for sure. :)

AIDS, Disease and Love... when no other category will cut it... ><

Omg Clint the sex puns are KILLING me today 🤣🤣🤣

My love for you is like a _TRUCK_, _Berzerker_....

As a great poet once said: She had dumps like a truck, truck, truck Thighs like what, what, what

The amount of sex puns is almost exceeding The Sims 3 master suite stuff (btw one of my fave video to go back to). Anywho great video as always!

Anonymous

Why in the world was the first category all about...AIDS?? Is that love letter material? Maybe that's where I've been going wrong all these years.

Anonymous

Thank you for putting so many jokes in the letters. Had to pause to read each one. Even my girlfriend, who wouldn’t normally enjoy LGR found them funny.

Elizabeth Sullivan-Burton

On the subject of "let's talk about STDs" letters, I get the "For both our sakes I feel we should go and be tested" and "We each live with a past and mine..." letters. But what on EARTH is the "Things were never to go this far" letter??? Also I question the need for software to write a flowery letter when you're angry. EDIT: Eugh, showed a clip of that letter. "You are an egocentric [fill in a noun]" indeed.

Clint, here's an extremely relevant article from ComputerLife in 1997: https://imgur.com/a/cimDxzZ
