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.

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.

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.

Wow, lime... Those times

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'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...

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

Barely but 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month 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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I didn't think I was old until this post... I'm like the youngest millennial you could be.
