The good old days of getting music from IRC or MP3 download websites found with Altavista.com

Just to play them back with WinPlay3 on a computer that used 100% CPU just to play back a file and dropped audio frames anyway.

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

Heh. Y'all remember Lincoln Logs in front of the family radio set? 🦗

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

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.

My computer now is very close to that era of Dell.

[–] AlienContact2049@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

But yeah I'm roughly cdr old.
