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.

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

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.
