computers had a turbo button to make the system clock go to 66 MHz

floppy disks were actually floppy

the internet collapsed because of congestion collapse
>I'm so old, I remember when..
my father had to load a program from magnetic tape drives into memory. It was a two step process where he ran the A side first, then had to stop, flip the tape drive around so it could read the B side and then continue loading the second half of the program
My first computer was a CPC464 with monochrome screen.
The day the office got a colour screen it blew my fucking mind.

/g/ was good

/g/ was never good, you just stopped being a retard when you got older and more knowledgable
>>54200395
AMD had superior ipc and instruction sets
>>54200441
I always doubted that turbo button.
Making the system jump from 40 to 60MHz did jack shit for me.
Virtua Cop played just the same.

Other way around, the turbo button un-turboed your CPU so that legacy software wouldn't freak on at this obscenely powerful future computer.
dialing into BBSes with a PC XT
>>54201155
The turbo button was for compatibility.
You wouldn't want to play an arcade game written for 4.77Mhz at 8Mhz.
Or even Flight Sim for that matter.

I remember someone having to explain what the internet is to me.
>Gonna blow my kids' minds in a few years' time.

I am so old that back in my day we had to use radioactive shielding on out monitors
I remember joining a Red Alert 1 online game and wondering what "lol" meant.

Kill yourself.
DOS, boot from a floppy, no hard drive. DIR\W
Can you still navigate through programs without a mouse?
How about the sound a dot matrix printer makes?

When gears of war was still relevant
Runescape
>>54200395
when WoW was fun
I'm fucking 24 years old and I remember every single thing stated itt.
I remember my moms computer only ram at 135mhz, had 64mb of ram and a 12gb HDD
And I remember my uncle telling her " you'll never be able to use 12gb of space, not in a lifetime"
She has 164gb of pictures now.
i remember a time where the media would recommend not to go online because there's some rampant virus spreading
i remember when my parents allowed me and my sisters a fixed amount of internet time because it was so expensive, and we had to write down how much we used on a note on the fridge
>>54203668
>164gb of pictures
wtf
>>54200395
I'm so old that i remember when a standard ad on internet was 400x40
I'm so old I don't remember anything.

>>54200395
I'm so old that I can't remember shit.
>>54203849
are you a wizard?
Remembering upgrading from 4MB of RAM to 8 and how stoked I was to play Descent and Under a Killing Moon with that shit.
>>54203711
That's easy if you have a high-resolution DSLR and shoot RAW. A D810 or similar makes 30+ MB files every time you click the shutter.
>>54203668
>164gb of pictures
Doesn't surprise me anon if your mother's selfies are in these files.
:^)
>>54203849
I've got a CRT that I'll play some older games on at 480p, but it's mainly because it's the only way I can play games at 120 FPS without buying a new monitor.
>>54200395
I remember Usenet
>>54203932
>Falling for the 8mb of ram meme
>>54203932
>not playing Descent Underground with 8GB of RAM
>>54200916
That's why it was good.
>I'm so old, I remember when..
You had very little games to choose from and Wolf3D.exe meant hours of fun and dizziness
>>54203932
Remembering playing the Mac version of Descent which was upgraded to 640x480 @ 256 colors with an amazing redbook audio CD soundtrack

>>54200441
Turbo button was to slow it down to 4.77mhz, having it 'open' enabled cpu to run at normal speed.
>>54203624
noob faggot.
When I was your age I had a fucking 486, ran a BBS and learned Pascal because of the BBS (RA) and Door programs.

it's not like you need a license for one. all you need is money. I see plenty of tourists walking around my city with expensive cameras whenever I go downtown.
Or maybe she's just one of those people that takes a million pictures and never throws out the bad ones. Happy, faggot?
I remember when software in magazines was in the form of code.
>>54205899
And you'd spend 6 hours typing it in, and it didn't fucking work
>>54206485
I remember in elementary school some kid gave me a printout of some BASIC game
I spent 20 minutes typing it at a DOS prompt, hit enter, got "Bad command or file name" and then went to my room and cried
>>54206485
>>54206526
Me with my 8bit Atari Basic and that stupid fucking spiral bound book that came with it.
