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

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

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.

Lil' bitch, I'm a 16KB expansion cartridge in my Vic-20 years old.

Older sister's emo phase. Mom's Honda Passport. 'I Write Sins' blasting through cheap car stereos. Mandatory trips to the mall. Those were the days.

How did the Sharpie get dragged into this? I still need to use one of those for work.

Anyway, i fit the description. Win.com, Soundblaster IRQ, Audiogalaxy, BBS, etc. It seemed like it was more fun back then. Marketing ruined everything. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

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

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.

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...

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.

If you aren't this old I don't think you can be called old yet

Record off the radio to cassette and an active market for pirated live shows because we lived past nowhere and it was all we had access to.

[โ€“] boonhet@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

No, because my country was pretty much too small and poor to have brand-name sharpies, we just had felt pens with other names. Carioca I believe was the most prominent brand back then.

Hell, my daughter used limewire.
