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. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Record off the radio to cassette and an active market for pirated live shows because we lived past nowhere and it was all we had access to.
People that age will see this and say "hell yeah"
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.
That's how I serenaded my SO
Ouch. I'm used to "do you feel old" posts being relatable, but the black theme on the computer tower and the 700mb disc hurt me. I remember feeling sci-fi as fuck when I finally got rid of my old off-white/beige tower for a black tower, and scoffing at the idea of removable media holding more than a few mb of data.
I remember thinking... The average mp3 is like 3-5 MB... thats damn near 200 songs. I miss burning CDs. Coming up with a hot mix made you feel like a fly ass DJ. now there's like 6000 songs in my library and some days I don't seem to like any of lol
Downloading 128kbit mp3 and then converting them to wav and burn on CD. It's all same same right ๐?
