Bah, back in my day you had to send the sysadmin a postcard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareware#Postcardware https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareware#Postcardware) to get your account approved ;)
The picture database of all the postcards is still around [https://freeshell.de/postcards/ https://freeshell.de/postcards/] .
