Older, I used to rip CDs onto tapes using a cassette deck

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

People that age will see this and say "hell yeah"

Wow, lime... Those times

Barely but yeah

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. 🤷‍♂️

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

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...

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.

We still have Sharpie.
