REgardless... we somewhat lived thru it

I still remember using the computers to communicate prior to www - all in ascii 

[Watchnewby]

Meoramri,

I still remember the time computer screed was monochrome green, and we communicate using BASIC.

the 28.8kbps modem dialing tone is ringing in my head again, "dee dee dee det det det det, dee det dee det......."

How time flies, anyone remember IRC, Internet Relay Chat?

[takashi78]

a/s/l ?
hahahahaha oh how i would spend hours to fish hahaha

[sshark]

not really a fan of IRC or ICQ. I spend most of the time using M$ Messenger at that time.

Those are the days......where ppl use Netscape Navigator to develope their own homepage, search engines that no young kids have heard of like Infoseek, AltaVista, Excite, Lycos........Geocities is  the king of free web hosting.......owning how many numbers of Mp3 songs are cool thing, being a mods in the public chat forum such as in IRC are chicks magnet, use programs to 'nuke' or 'flood' other users' Windows 95 turn blue screen is the ultimate coolness.....

those are the days.....

And a 20 MB HD was a big thing.

[meoramri]

Still own a few 5 1/4" floppies as well as 3 1/2" diskettes - should frame them as a reminder of the time when size matters!!!

[Everdying]

i still remember loading games via cassette tape onto my C64

[sshark]

Size does matter. The smaller they are the bigger the capacity

[ronaldindin]

the first time I'm using dial up, keep kicking my desktop casing because of slow loading speed haha. Things have improved but still not so advance if compare to other country

You have no patience young one. I recall the days when getting connected at 14,400 was a blessing.

And a 20 MB HD was a big thing.

I remember selling a 20 MB HD for over RM 10k in late 80s.

[sshark]

Crazy wasn't it. Last week I bought a 16GB USB 3 stick for rm70. Imagine if it was rm10k per 20MB we have come a long way

And a 20 MB HD was a big thing.

I remember selling a 20 MB HD for over RM 10k in late 80s.

And I remember paying over RM5k for a Wearnes 486SX/50 and extra 16MB RAM for a Pentium Pro machine for RM1600....
