This was cutting edge tech... I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs...

Lil' bitch, I'm a 16KB expansion cartridge in my Vic-20 years old.

This, but I used a CD-RW as my scratch disk. Was it good? No. Did it matter with dialup? Not really.

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.

People that age will see this and say "hell yeah"

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.

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

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Barely but yeah

I didn't think I was old until this post... I'm like the youngest millennial you could be.

I'm so old I remember when disks were floppy, came in the 7" size, and were an awesome replacement for punch cards.

Still haven't beat Zork tho...

This is a direct attack. Defederate this motherfucker!

Hell, my daughter used limewire.

I think it's listing these as one item, not four. Use LimeWire to download the songs on the PC, burn it to a CD, then label it with the Sharpie.
