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

I still do this, minus limewire because it doesn't exist

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

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

I remember doing that...

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

Don't talk about age... My back hurts and I remember booting dos to run win.com if you wanted windows. Most of the stuff ran fine directly from dos without the added shell.

I had a portable hard drive. I think I still have it somewhere.

1st computer I used was an Apple ][e in first grade. Figured out how to make Spirographs with logo.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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.
