"Coaxial mouse old" isn't a thing, gramps. I hate to tell you, but the senility's kicking in...

It was to hook up cable TV to a TV that only had UHF/VHF.

DIN-5 was a dope connector. No bent pins, stuck in there sturdy, you could rotate it until you got it with no guessing, no wimpy cable breaking off.

Still is! I rock many DIN-5 cables in my home studio for MIDI. You’re not joking when you say “you could rotate it until you got it with no guessing”, I have to do that every damn time.

I had to put my HDD in park position manually.

I don’t think I’m on the chart. First computer was a RadioShack TRS-80. 4 kb of RAM, but I upgraded to a blazing 8 kb. Yee-haw! No floppy discs: my programs were saved on cassette tape using a cassette recorder connected to the computer. Those were the days.

Member when you edited your ~~himem.sys~~ config.sys and autoexec.bat to play your game?

Remember when you had to navigate through DOS to start your game?

Remember when you had to make boot disks for games?

I'm a musician and I send Midi all over the place pretty regularly. 5 pin DIN connectors are very much still a thing.

White and red live on in the audio world, but yellow is definitely in retirement now.

Back in my day we didn't have no fancy AT keyboard connector, the keyboard was part of the computer and that's how we like it.

[–] girl@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

this meme and the fashion world at large agree that I am a decrepit hag at 30 years old

Trust me people who use multiple monitors LOVE the VGA cable because it's +1 monitor on what usually would be only 1 HDMI slot, maybe 2 if you were lucky.

[–] NateSwift@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That’s serial not VGA right?
