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

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.

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.

I found this video interesting about how music doesn’t have the same value to Gen Z as it does to Millennials. I remember in high school, what kind music you listened to often determined your friends group. I was a new kid in the 10th grade sitting at a table by myself at lunch wearing a Korn shirt, and my soon to be friends group for my remaining years in high school invited me to their table based on my shirt. Not sure if Gen Z cares about music in the same way, since it has been highly commoditized now, and it seems that digital distribution at least contributed to this situation.

When CDs cost the equivalent of $35 in 2025 money, it was a different relationship indeed.

I remember doing that...

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

[–] [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.

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!

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.
