I heard it in another video and it brough a tear to my eyes.

And afterwards, fire up some Diablo.

At that time for me there was Doom II - my first serious videogame was Wolfenstein 3D. Always been an FPS guy since back then.

Starting Macintosh LC II was also big fun, especially at night ... I think my neighbours were awake each time when its gong went off  ...

It sounds vaguely Star Trek / A Space Odissey music.

If you ever had a job that had an MSDN account that ended being helpfully linked with your personal account on your home PC.
And then left that job.
You know what I am talking about... :/
It keep saying there is an issue with my linked account. But I can't unlink it, because I can't login into it, because I am no longer working over there, obviously. And it keep warning me every single day.... This Artificial Stupidity in action! So damn annoying!

I once had my MSDN or whatever account linked to my employer (for partner benefits).
Then I left the company and the only one who could unlink it... You guessed it, was my ex-employer 
Luckily we ended on good-ish terms (although I left before getting a new job and I took unpaid leave, so if anything, that sends a message  ).
After my request to unlink, they did so within a day.
Still ridiculous, it's my account and it's only linked because I allow it.

I had a similar issue trying to get my personal Microsoft account unlinked from a dead email address. As far as I remember it took quite some time and a lot of fiddling about to get it done. Oh, and Microsoft help - not.

There's a reason I don't link personal and work accounts...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

When I had Fakebook I adamantly refused to allow coworkers in my friends list, and I often banned them preemptively.

I never have - at least not knowingly.
And still, at one point in time I ended up with something similar to the OP's situation - my work MSDN account somehow got linked with my personal account. I could never figure out how to break the link, and still maintain access to what I needed.

On a similar note, I downloaded the old Express versions from MS on my work account email. A few years later, I received a full MSDN license through the same company. The Express downloads blocked the assignment and still cause issues a decade later. I had to setup a separate hotmail account for my corporate license.
MS was zero help in deleting the old account.

Ribbon? What's that? 
Insert | Break... it's right there on the Standard toolbar where it's always been. I've been using it all day.

Trouble with that is when you get sent "modern" word documents and can't read them ...
