Ah yes, the toe remote still works, also for laptops and without even changing batteries.

7 of these don't belong

Why is there a spider on my solitaire card? Where the fuck is my Minesweeper and Netscape Navigator?

Hi, kiddie!

Turning on the tower with your foot...yeah, that unlocks some memories, lol.

[–] Fillicia@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

Now do you also remember shutting it down with your foot?

"It's now safe to turn off your computer"

The standard 5” floppy. The best part was putting down the latch on the drive and that sweet sound it made.

Remind me to send you a picture of my 3ish feet diameter hard drive platter

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 14 points 21 hours ago

Eh... Windows 7 background ain't THAT old. Still the best OS they made.

[–] Happyblonde@lemmy.zip 2 points 18 hours ago

I only know what half of these things are πŸ˜…

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Heh, this is brand new software and tech as far as I'm concerned. I remember when the computer did not automatically boot into windows and you had to cd c:\windows and then win.exe.

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

LOAD β€œ*”, 8, 1

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Honestly it feels new to me too. I just thought the meme would spark some nostalgia for all us old(er) people who like to complain about the youngsters

[–] knexcar@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

All this feels pretty old for me

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Heh, the days when the six 3.5" floppies of Wing Commander was a huge install and often required a hard disk clean out.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm old enough to remember when the Internet was this for us:

[–] Lootboblin@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] camelbeard@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

This I remember, also askjeeves, dogpile or something (I think it searched like 30+ different search engines and combined the results)

It's not safe to turn off your computer.
There are enemies nearby.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Random tangent, my dad edited the system file that contained that message to "It's not safe to turn off your computer" when I was like 5 and it kinda fucked me up for a bit.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I loved the island guy and the bad dog ones. Loved After Dark

That's how old I am

[–] boughtmysoul@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

I had a friend who edited the .jpeg or whatever in the shutdown sequence to say β€œit is NOT safe to shut off your computer” and waited for his family to freak out.
