im literally 15, youre acting like CDs are antique vor smth

I’m older.

Let’s just leave it at that

I’m hooking two vhs players together to commit piracy old.

This isn’t very old lol. That computer could be from 2010 and CD’s and Sharpies were used then. Also, LimeWire was functional until like late 2010.

Old enough to remember using a 3½” floppy disk to boot my first PC and mess around with GW/Q-BASIC and play DOS games.

The disks were strongly perfumed (I guess the guy I bought my pirated games from liked to do that for some reason), and I still remember that aroma.

Limewire was the shit. But I’m so old I started with Napster

Older actually. My first portable music format was 8track

You don’t know old until you’ve had to change the IRQ for your sound card because wolf3d.exe’s settings were different than swotl.exe.

…I’m older.

…Oregon Trail older, motherfucker.

Kids, I played Leisure Suit Larry on a Macintosh II

Pre-home internet I remember running a line-in to my soundblaster card from a clock radio and recording Tool’s Sober to my HDD.

The wav file took up a good chunk of the HDD. After a good amount of funking around with encoding it was barely comprehensible and still took up too much room. Was exciting and felt like a glimpse of the future.

Old enough to have a 286 as a first PC. But more on topic, I remember a time before Limewire and Bearshare. A time before Napster. MP3s were downloaded from IRC or from websites found with AltaVista or WebCrawler.

To play those MP3s? Winamp wasn’t out yet. Fraunhofer Winplay3 was your only option. It had to be cracked and pirated as well. Want to multitask while playing an MP3? How about your music cutting out instead?

Don’t hurt me like this.
