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

That's how old I am

....

....

Fuck

Win7 isn't that old.

I mean, I'm in my early 40s and I've started with ms-dos. According to this meme what am I? A fucking dinosaur? Am I that old?

mine

What's all this newfangled content being posted as old? My first computer had Windows 3.11 that you booted to from a command prompt. It was an amazing graphical upgrade from the command line computers. Now you could actually see what you were doing on the screen instead of typing commands and hoping a document would print with your data.

Before that, I used Apple IIe computers at school, with their solidly green command line interface. I remember being taught how to program instructions with those computers. You had a "turtle" (green triangle) that you needed to move to a specific spot on the screen, and you typed in commands to make him move.

Whatever content is in this meme, it all released long after I grew up and became an adult. You young whippersnappers.

I'm this old:

Shit, I'm old...

Man, I am even older than this.

Multiple times I was disconnected in the middle of a Starcraft match over our 56k modem... because my dad was getting a goddamned fax sent to him over the same line.

These are all fancy pants, high res ... XP, i think?... icons compared to Win 95 and 98.

Now excuse me while I teleport back in time and jack back in to the Matrix Online beta via an actual telephone line... we didn't even get DSL untill a year or two after it fully released.

Going fully angry old man mode:

You whippersnappers have absolutely no clue what pain is.

Pain is playing Battlefield 1942 on a 56k modem with literally zero servers you can connect to being under 150 ping, the vast majority of them being 200, 300+.

Those packets had to march across shitty rural phone lines uphill, both ways! And a storm would throw a tree onto them every 3 weeks!

Pain is your shitty eMachine being so underpowered that the only way you can actually play through HL2 is all settings at minimum, and then also when Alyx is getting teleported out of Kleiner's lab, you have to look at the ground, because the 8 or so particles with bloom that spin around her, + the flashing color negative post processing effect... is too fucking difficult for your moldy, sprouting potato of a pc to run without CTDing or even segfaulting.

I continue to be this old.

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.

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

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

I still use Winrar.

I am Reversi Hearts Freecell Solitaire Minesweeper 3d pinball for windows old.

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

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
