This was cutting edge tech... I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs...
Lil' bitch, I'm a 16KB expansion cartridge in my Vic-20 years old.

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.
1996 called: 2X Plextor SCSI-2 wide internal CDR with Caddy, 5 pack Ricoh 2X CDR and an Adaptec single port pci SCSI-2 card bundle for $599. What a deal to store all my porn!
Older actually. My first portable music format was 8track
If you aren't this old I don't think you can be called old yet
I'm so old I remember when disks were floppy, came in the 7" size, and were an awesome replacement for punch cards.
Still haven't beat Zork tho...
I didn't think I was old until this post... I'm like the youngest millennial you could be.

Hell, my daughter used limewire.
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.

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
Barely but yeah
Wow, lime... Those times
We still have Sharpie.
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.
