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

Where are the speakers, that warned you about incoming calls?

I actually remember albums. They were these physical discs that actually existed within our 3D world. Made entirely of vinyl, they played on a modular device designed entirely for their use and their use alone. In comparison, they were close to the same thickness, but considerably larger than even the ancient CD-ROMs were!

And they sounded SOOOOO much better than anything you’ve ever heard.

Tell your kids we used to burn cd for entertainment, then proceed to take a torch to the cd.

To be fair I've done that too haha.

Why are you attacking me?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I had so many burned CDs with games and music... This was back when ADSL internet was the hot new thing with incredible download speeds of 30kb/s

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Well... Yes. But I never used limewire because our Internet was so shit it'd take 25 minutes just to load in a Web page entirely made of just text.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I remember doing that...

last year (besides limewire, I needed some CDs to copy to minidiscs)

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.
