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.
I remember thinking... The average mp3 is like 3-5 MB... thats damn near 200 songs. I miss burning CDs. Coming up with a hot mix made you feel like a fly ass DJ. now there's like 6000 songs in my library and some days I don't seem to like any of lol
