This was cutting edge tech... I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs...
Lil' bitch, I'm a 16KB expansion cartridge in my Vic-20 years old.

Careful giving out clues to your age on public forums...
But yeah I'm roughly cdr old.
If you aren't this old I don't think you can be called old yet
This is a direct attack. Defederate this motherfucker!
I'm so old I remember when disks were floppy, came in the 7" size, and were an awesome replacement for punch cards.
Still haven't beat Zork tho...
We still have Sharpie.
I think it's listing these as one item, not four. Use LimeWire to download the songs on the PC, burn it to a CD, then label it with the Sharpie.

Ouch. I'm used to "do you feel old" posts being relatable, but the black theme on the computer tower and the 700mb disc hurt me. I remember feeling sci-fi as fuck when I finally got rid of my old off-white/beige tower for a black tower, and scoffing at the idea of removable media holding more than a few mb of data.

Hell, my daughter used limewire.
Wow, lime... Those times
bruh ๐ my grandpa had me burning CDs for him forever
I made one the other day, though I bought the music from HDTracks instead of "acquiring" it from Limewire or Kazaa. Burned it to a CD because the bus I drive has a CD player but no SD card slot or anything.

Barely but yeah
I remember lightscribe and thinking it was going to replace my need for sharpies but it was just a gimmick and while cool not very useful given the cost of disks
People that age will see this and say "hell yeah"
