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.

LOAD โ€œ*โ€, 8, 1

[โ€“] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days 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

[โ€“] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days 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.

[โ€“] knexcar@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

All this feels pretty old for me

[โ€“] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 days ago

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

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

Remind me to send you a picture of my 3ish feet diameter hard drive platter

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

[โ€“] Fillicia@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

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

[โ€“] Penny7@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I didn't shut down the computer that way, I'd go through the menus and such. At that point I'd just have to shut off the monitor. If I had to do a restart 'cuz the damn thing froze then yeah, I'd use my foot.

Ah yes, the toe remote still works, also for laptops and without even changing batteries.

[โ€“] frunch@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (3 children)

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

[โ€“] Lootboblin@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[โ€“] camelbeard@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

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

7 of these don't belong

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

[โ€“] Jumi@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Good old Minesweeper and Space Cadet 3D Pinball

[โ€“] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

You think this is old? Where are the stone tablets with chisels? Kids the days...

Chisels? In my day you used a triangular reed and you liked it

[โ€“] Noodle07@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days 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

[โ€“] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

[โ€“] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago
