The internet? At those prices?

We had to go to each others houses to look at CD-ROMs!

Fancy. Who could afford a CD-ROM drive at those prices?

We had boxes of floppy disks and BBS to get us through.

Oh, I remember loading lemmings from a floppy as a 7 yearold

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Luxury.

I had to load my games in from tape!

Tape?

Now let me tell you about punched cards…

… that were used long before I was born.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago

'course I say tape, it was more like a code listing in a magazine, but it were a tape to us!

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

My dad used punch cards.

He's dead.

Funny... I remember "where in the world is Carmen San Diego" but I don't remember "where the fuck is Carmen San Diego"
