Older actually. My first portable music format was 8track
1st computer I used was an Apple ][e in first grade. Figured out how to make Spirographs with logo.
I remember doing that...
last year (besides limewire, I needed some CDs to copy to minidiscs)
Did none of you bitches fucking use tape-recorders?
Oh yes. And it was a big, big upgrade from having to retype everything each time.

I'm this old.
Lil' bitch, I'm a 16KB expansion cartridge in my Vic-20 years old.
My computer now is very close to that era of Dell.
This, but I used a CD-RW as my scratch disk. Was it good? No. Did it matter with dialup? Not really.
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.
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.

Heh. Y'all remember Lincoln Logs in front of the family radio set? 🦗
1996 called: 2X Plextor SCSI-2 wide internal CDR with Caddy, 5 pack Ricoh 2X CDR and an Adaptec single port pci SCSI-2 card bundle for $599. What a deal to store all my porn!
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
laughs in IRC, magnetic disks, and a 486
My first computer ran on 5 1/4" floppy disks.
I am older even…
Careful giving out clues to your age on public forums...
But yeah I'm roughly cdr old.
