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!
My computer now is very close to that era of Dell.
Heh. Y'all remember Lincoln Logs in front of the family radio set? ๐ฆ
I remember my old car stereo that would run mp3 files off of a CD, shit was so tight! Didn't need to transcribe the music as audio tracks so you could fit so much more Linkin Park tracks on a CD than ever before, god those were the days
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.
Hell, my daughter used limewire.
Barely but yeah
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 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
If you aren't this old I don't think you can be called old yet
Wow, lime... Those times
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.

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.
People that age will see this and say "hell yeah"
This is a direct attack. Defederate this motherfucker!
How did the Sharpie get dragged into this? I still need to use one of those for work.
Anyway, i fit the description. Win.com, Soundblaster IRQ, Audiogalaxy, BBS, etc. It seemed like it was more fun back then. Marketing ruined everything. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
