My first computer ran on 5 1/4" floppy disks.

Careful giving out clues to your age on public forums...

But yeah I'm roughly cdr old.

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

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

If you aren't this old I don't think you can be called old yet

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.

This is a direct attack. Defederate this motherfucker!

We still have Sharpie.

Hell, my daughter used limewire.

bruh 💀 my grandpa had me burning CDs for him forever

Wow, lime... Those times

Barely but yeah

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.
