I remember doing that...

last year (besides limewire, I needed some CDs to copy to minidiscs)

This, but I used a CD-RW as my scratch disk. Was it good? No. Did it matter with dialup? Not really.

I still use CDs at work....

Well... Yes. But I never used limewire because our Internet was so shit it'd take 25 minutes just to load in a Web page entirely made of just text.

I'm pinball = arcade games old.

I can still sorta remember as a kid, sitting down at a chunky old Dell PC running Windows XP, while my dad inserted a CD for some Go Diago go computer game.

We still have that old computer. We tried to throw Linux on it to see if we could use it for something but I think it's truly beyond saving.

I found this video interesting about how music doesn’t have the same value to Gen Z as it does to Millennials. I remember in high school, what kind music you listened to often determined your friends group. I was a new kid in the 10th grade sitting at a table by myself at lunch wearing a Korn shirt, and my soon to be friends group for my remaining years in high school invited me to their table based on my shirt. Not sure if Gen Z cares about music in the same way, since it has been highly commoditized now, and it seems that digital distribution at least contributed to this situation.

Lil' bitch, I'm a 16KB expansion cartridge in my Vic-20 years old.

How did the Sharpie get dragged into this? I still need to use one of those for work.

Anyway, i fit the description. Win.com, Soundblaster IRQ, Audiogalaxy, BBS, etc. It seemed like it was more fun back then. Marketing ruined everything. 🤷‍♂️

Tech culture is around 10 years late here in India. So I can say I have worked with above tools. But CD Roms are now thing of past. Pen Drives, HDD and SDD are now tool of the game now.

Older sister's emo phase. Mom's Honda Passport. 'I Write Sins' blasting through cheap car stereos. Mandatory trips to the mall. Those were the days.

Laughs in IRC.

Giggles in BBS.

Two day downloads because kermit was the only download protocol that working with the endpoint due to noise in the connection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_(protocol)

What was a I downloading? A bmp of a topless Samantha Fox.

Edit: I decided to take stroll down memory lane and have discovered that there were two Samantha foxes one was in pornos and the one I'm remembering was a page three girl in the UK. The page I found had them as the same person even though they look nothing alike.

People that age will see this and say "hell yeah"

1st computer I used was an Apple ][e in first grade. Figured out how to make Spirographs with logo.

I didn't think I was old until this post... I'm like the youngest millennial you could be.
