I remember doing that...

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.
8088 era is in da house.
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.
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.
Lil' bitch, I'm a 16KB expansion cartridge in my Vic-20 years old.
I don't come here to be assaulted Pug 😤
Also, just black? lmfao
This, but I used a CD-RW as my scratch disk. Was it good? No. Did it matter with dialup? Not really.
Careful giving out clues to your age on public forums...
But yeah I'm roughly cdr old.
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.

Heh. Y'all remember Lincoln Logs in front of the family radio set? 🦗
Older actually. My first portable music format was 8track
My computer now is very close to that era of Dell.
My first computer ran on 5 1/4" floppy disks.
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
I'm this old.
I am older even…
