A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
This was cutting edge tech... I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs...
I still have my 2005-2008 era Sony Vaiao in the garage at my parents house. If it booted up, I'd probably still have limewire running.
I need to wear a knee brace or use a cane, and I'm not even exaggerating.

EVEN OLDER!
I had so many burned CDs with games and music... This was back when ADSL internet was the hot new thing with incredible download speeds of 30kb/s
I actually remember albums. They were these physical discs that actually existed within our 3D world. Made entirely of vinyl, they played on a modular device designed entirely for their use and their use alone. In comparison, they were close to the same thickness, but considerably larger than even the ancient CD-ROMs were!
And they sounded SOOOOO much better than anything you’ve ever heard.
Tell your kids we used to burn cd for entertainment, then proceed to take a torch to the cd.
To be fair I've done that too haha.
Yes
I still do this, minus limewire because it doesn't exist
Don’t hurt me like this.
Where are the speakers, that warned you about incoming calls?
Why are you attacking me?
My first pirated copy of windows was 3.1.
I remember doing that...
last year (besides limewire, I needed some CDs to copy to minidiscs)
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.
Don't talk about age... My back hurts and I remember booting dos to run win.com if you wanted windows. Most of the stuff ran fine directly from dos without the added shell.
Okay okay but why sharpies? You can still buy and use those today, did you know?
Don't you know? Kids these days only know something twerk something eat hot chips something be bisexual etc..
8088 era is in da house.
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.
