Well... Yes. But I never used limewire because our Internet was so shit it'd take 25 minutes just to load in a Web page entirely made of just text.

Did none of you bitches fucking use tape-recorders?

Oh yes. And it was a big, big upgrade from having to retype everything each time.

I remember doing that...

last year (besides limewire, I needed some CDs to copy to minidiscs)

Don't talk about age... My back hurts and I remember booting dos to run win.com if you wanted windows. Most of the stuff ran fine directly from dos without the added shell.

1996 called: 2X Plextor SCSI-2 wide internal CDR with Caddy, 5 pack Ricoh 2X CDR and an Adaptec single port pci SCSI-2 card bundle for $599. What a deal to store all my porn!

Careful giving out clues to your age on public forums...

But yeah I'm roughly cdr old.

My computer now is very close to that era of Dell.

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.
