This was cutting edge tech... I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs...

People need to relax. This isn't even old. What's wrong with getting older anyway?

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 still do this, minus limewire because it doesn't exist

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.

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.

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.

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.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 5 points 2 months ago (8 children)

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

I'm this old.

[–] Ferus42@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

The good old days of getting music from IRC or MP3 download websites found with Altavista.com

Just to play them back with WinPlay3 on a computer that used 100% CPU just to play back a file and dropped audio frames anyway.
