>>53891921
USB-stick
>>53891921
I still have a box of those in my cellar aswell as floppy drive.
Man, the nostalgia...
>>53891921
I used them in school, so yea. No good experience though.
>>53891976 i have a floppy drive in my pc but it's not connected
Still using them
>>53891921
Yes, I do. I also remember 5.25s, zip disks, and zip tapes.
Thread over
>>53891921
reminder that this very moment there are underage faggot in this board that never installed doom using floppies
Yes I do, and I remember how shitty and unreliable they were and how they would go bad after just a few years. Also how file sizes took off and they were too small for everything until flash drives took off.
There is no more fun autism than /g/ has regarding the "save icon"

Ever met one of those 80 or 90 year olds that will tell you about how they had to type something out 10 times flawlessly with no differences between the copies because they didn't have photocopiers or any easy way to duplicate them, yet still subtly try to pretend to be better than you? You're basically doing this for the 90s now.
>>53892213
I remember every single one of these things
>>53891921
I remember when aol had the free trial ones. Id take a bunch of them, put tape over the hole and then just use on my own. Aol was fucking stupid
>>53891921
Yeah but admittedly they were a bit before my time, never used them.
>>53891921
I think I still have a few of them with my old HS autocad projects on them.
>>53891921
I have a few floppy drives and like 50 floppies in a floppy box next to me.

What's with the kids these days and *constantly* acting like they're being looked down on and disrespected all the time?
Dude posted an interesting image showing some information from the mid/late 90s. It didn't make ANY KIND of evaluation or offer any opinion of old vs new tech.
Maybe you should just appreciate that older people had different experiences than you. Some of them were better, most were worse. And chances are they had to execute to a much higher standard on a daily basis due to situations like the one you just gave as an example.
I can appreciate that my mother had to triple check her punch cards for errors before wasting mainframe time. I still "use the compiler for syntax checking", but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate how much harder she had it.
>1992
This is where I hung out. I still remember my uneditable username of 7 randomly generated characters.
>>53892050
I'm 26 and I never did that.
I do remember installing duke nukem though. The 2d versions. Good times.
>>53892326
>Nostalgia is a direct attack on me
Maybe you're just an insecure faggot
>>53892483
What series is this from, incidentally? I keep seeing pictures from it but I've never found the source.
Obviously the left is John McAfee, but who's that on the right?
>>53892504
>Some of them were better, most were worse.
Going well so far
>And chances are they had to execute to a much higher standard
This means "I'm better than you"
>>53892213
>20 Years ago
Nigga, first 266MHz chip came out in 97'...
Same goes for Winamp and GTA. What the fuck dude?
I wont even start with Napster...
I bet that picture is not even made in 2016, making it even worse.
>>53892594
Yes! I'm wondering that too, that's the only one I have.
>>53891921
Wtf is that?
>>53892621
>97 was 19 years ago
>>53891921
I still use them to deploy certain software.
>>53892710
FUCKKKK

Since nostalgia is complete cancer that fools you into thinking shit is gold, how does compounded nostalgia work?
For example
>thing was out in 1997
>Shitty wrong picture was out in 2012? (seen people have nostalgia for even that short time ago)
>it isn't dated but just says "20 years ago" which you always take as 20 years ago from right now
>Well I have nostalgia for this picture even though I didn't really read it
Now that I have waited about 5 minutes, I have nostalgia for the first part of my post, which has compounded on a picture that compounded on the thing. So instead of wanting to jack off to the CPU, I want to jack off to some words and that picture.
>>53892617
>>And chances are they had to execute to a much higher standard
>This means "I'm better than you"
No, you butthurt little faggot, it means, "I got less done but I couldn't make any mistakes".
You think that your clumsy typing in an interactive editor where you can just undo, redo, select, delete, and copy/paste isn't FUNDAMENTALLY more flexible than the example of the person who had to manually type ten flawless copies?
Your pathetic inferiority complex is getting the better of you. You can appreciate others' efforts without belittling yourself, you know.
>>53892213
No messenger has surpassed or came close to how great icq was. Shame it died, damn aolfags with their aim
>>53891921
still use them with old hardware I can't transfer files to with flash drives, zip disks or network shares
I cringe every time retarded "'90s kids" on this board jerk off to them
>>53892504
>>53892837
Is this the bogeyman Justin keeps blogging about in every old shit thread?
>>53891921
Holy shit anon you 3d printed the save icon.
>>53891921
whoa a 3D save icon
>>53892710
Exactly, 19 years ago not 20.
I remember floppy disk cataloguing software that was totally useless because I never named the disk.
>>53892630
Apparently she's Samantha Vanegas
Of course I do, I'm not fucking 12
>>53894088
Found that out too, one of hes gf's
>>53891921
I still have my Q3A OSP config on one of these.
>>53892050
Shit man I downloaded it at 9600 baud.
Took forever.

Daily reminder that you're older than you think.
People born in 1998 are old enough to post on 4chan.
>>53891943
underrated post
>>53891921
Yeah, it's one of those big SD cards
>>53897123
That is really cool! Maximum cool if you put this in stealth beige case build.
>>53897182
I seem to recall it was in an old beigebox
