Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Edit: I know a cd key that used to circulate for windows xp pro off the top of my head... I legally own and use windows vista though for the record so no false accusations please.
I keep my purchased software in folders with their name as the folder name. .exe and other files inside the folder. txt file with the serial number.
Just in case I have to do clean installs. I hate dealing with support for software.
That said, I don't memorize any of them.
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.
As for software that I need to reinstall I keep all of my discs in their original boxes right beside my computer lined up in beautiful fashion.. : stops to admire them :

As long as you know exactly what a pint of milk costs, you're fine. If not, chances are the evil empire has it's tentacles wrapped around you and turned you into a drone.
I can barely remember my name anymore, let alone a friggin enormous number like a serial. You might think of selling your services to circuses though. I mean if this PHP thing doesn't work out for you, you know?

My name is still ok. It's my birthday and age I keep forgetting.
But remembering serials? Are you (the topic starter) serious? If there's one at all, copy-paste once for registration, never repeat.

I have the unfortunate talent of remembering all serial numbers I've pretty much ever had to enter, plus all phone numbers (excluding one time calls), addresses, credit cards, social security numbers I've encountered.
