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.

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.

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.

1st computer I used was an Apple ][e in first grade. Figured out how to make Spirographs with logo.

I didn't think I was old until this post... I'm like the youngest millennial you could be.

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.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

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

[–] petaqui@lemmings.world 3 points 6 days ago

Wow, lime... Those times

[–] gerowen@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (3 children)

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.

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