Why is there a spider on my solitaire card? Where the fuck is my Minesweeper and Netscape Navigator?

Turning on the tower with your foot...yeah, that unlocks some memories, lol.

[–] Fillicia@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

Now do you also remember shutting it down with your foot?

The standard 5” floppy. The best part was putting down the latch on the drive and that sweet sound it made.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 11 points 14 hours ago

Eh... Windows 7 background ain't THAT old. Still the best OS they made.

[–] Happyblonde@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 hours ago

I only know what half of these things are πŸ˜…

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 19 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Heh, this is brand new software and tech as far as I'm concerned. I remember when the computer did not automatically boot into windows and you had to cd c:\windows and then win.exe.

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 9 points 19 hours ago

LOAD β€œ*”, 8, 1

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Honestly it feels new to me too. I just thought the meme would spark some nostalgia for all us old(er) people who like to complain about the youngsters

[–] knexcar@lemmy.world 1 points 33 minutes ago

All this feels pretty old for me

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 3 points 19 hours ago

Heh, the days when the six 3.5" floppies of Wing Commander was a huge install and often required a hard disk clean out.

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

is this for jerma specifically because of the time he accidentally turned his computer off with his foot

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I'm old enough to remember when the Internet was this for us:

[–] camelbeard@lemmy.world 1 points 58 minutes ago

This I remember, also askjeeves, dogpile or something (I think it searched like 30+ different search engines and combined the results)

It's not safe to turn off your computer.
There are enemies nearby.

Random tangent, my dad edited the system file that contained that message to "It's not safe to turn off your computer" when I was like 5 and it kinda fucked me up for a bit.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Somehow I'm using the default wallpaper on both w10 and android since I'm older, I just don't care anymore while before it used to be very important lol

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Yeah, I couldn't even tell you what my background is. I used to have a slideshow of them.

"it's now safe to turn off your computer"

That's how old I am

[–] boughtmysoul@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I had a friend who edited the .jpeg or whatever in the shutdown sequence to say β€œit is NOT safe to shut off your computer” and waited for his family to freak out.
