the other day some little shit told me how much it sucked that he didn't get a cell phone until he was 15.

I miss floppy disks, windows 3.1, and printers with the little perforated edges you had to tear off. I think our rig had a 166 mhz processor and 8 mb of ram.

I remember when people smoked inside.

Yes! Our first CPU which my parents still have hooked up has 100 MHz pent 1 8mb RAM 1gb HDD. Packard bell. Shit was awesome

Never seen it but then ive never
watched a lot of movies..hard to stay awake during them.

During soccer practice last night the kids were trying to tell me that they knew what they were doing becase theyve played for 4 years! Lol i fired back to shut up becase ive played for over 20 years (then thought damn 20 years of just playing soccer..crap)

Had a commodore 64 as well. Remember doing some type of program to play a dice game on it. Kids these days don't realize how good they have it now. Although, most will never get the chance to play video games on systems that actually worked and didn't overheat.

lol I remember being in middle school when CD-R's came out and I got one for christmas (shit was like $250 then for a cheaper model that you installed into your desktop) and I was selling the fuck out of some Slim Shady LP and other CDs for $5.00 a pop.

i was in college at the time. i worked in the technology lab for the campus (we installed/repaired all the technology in classrooms all over campus) the main office was the shit though, it had top notch computers with cd burners and webcams (both of which were ridic expensive back then). i had keys to the office and bosses just worked 9-5 m-f and didnt mind if i came in afterhours to study or whatever.

i discovered IRC and figured out how to download songs and burn CDs pre-napster. I remember bringing home a bootleg CD of some live radiohead show and my roommates flipped the fuck out and thought I was some kind of computer genius lol.

i also learned HTML around that time and was programming basic webpages (anyone remember geocities?). I actually got a job programming the webpage of a San Fran based company that imported and sold movies from Hong Kong. I didnt get paid actual money, they just sent me any 2 movies a week that I wanted. I had the best kung fu VHS collection evar. it was actually a husband and wife team and they ended up divorcing. the wife and i chatted all the time and she eventually flew me out there to bang her. i was 19. So i was "online dating" in '97 lol.

Jiffy Lube still uses this if you're ever missing and want to see it again.

Number Cruncher was my favorite, I destroyed that game, made like level 82 one time iirc



the good old days

Guys, there is a difference between feeling old and being old.

Some of you are just old.

Haha number cruncher was the shit...haven't thought about that game in twenty years.

Fuck ya to VGA bomber... My rich buddy with the super high tech computer had that when we were young. Amazing.

lol the webpages back them were so primitive, its funny to go back and look at them now. you may be able to find your old webpage archived
