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.

Punk kids. Back in my day we had Tandy and Applesoft BASIC. We had line numbers and it fucking hurt when they took that away with goddamn function declarations.

1996 called: 2X Plextor SCSI-2 wide internal CDR with Caddy, 5 pack Ricoh 2X CDR and an Adaptec single port pci SCSI-2 card bundle for $599. What a deal to store all my porn!

I remember my old car stereo that would run mp3 files off of a CD, shit was so tight! Didn't need to transcribe the music as audio tracks so you could fit so much more Linkin Park tracks on a CD than ever before, god those were the days

My first computer ran on 5 1/4" floppy disks.
