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

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.

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

But yeah I'm roughly cdr old.

I think it's listing these as one item, not four. Use LimeWire to download the songs on the PC, burn it to a CD, then label it with the Sharpie.

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

[–] Redecco@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

People that age will see this and say "hell yeah"

[–] drascus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Barely but yeah

How did the Sharpie get dragged into this? I still need to use one of those for work.

Anyway, i fit the description. Win.com, Soundblaster IRQ, Audiogalaxy, BBS, etc. It seemed like it was more fun back then. Marketing ruined everything. 🤷‍♂️

Wow, lime... Those times

[–] gerowen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

No, because my country was pretty much too small and poor to have brand-name sharpies, we just had felt pens with other names. Carioca I believe was the most prominent brand back then.
