I did my college applications on a typewriter o.O

I remember asking a fellow middle schooler, what is this thing you call "downloading" we were on prodigy at the time and that was its own little portal not really including a browser to the internet that I recall

AOL chatrooms were fun though, could download a whole CD in a day if you messaged bots for emails that had song attachments and configured your settings to automatically download all files in your inbox

college had massive backend network bandwidth that allowed P2P transfers of up to 18 megs a sec from others on college networks via the now defunct i2hub. used to binge family guy and simpsons, they took like 20 seconds to download an episode. quite a jump from 56k dialup a few years earlier! was quite mindblowing how fast things changed

my 2nd job had some of their old backups on old floppy disks, the old 8 inch and 5 1/4! it was amazing to see the size of an 8 inch floppy that stored basically nothing!

i remember seeing pulp fiction on laserdisc and that was like wow quality!

i played civ1 on win3.1 i think it was, either that or win95.

i remember us getting a 386 and being super jealous when my best friend got a 486! we started with a ti99 and then an apple2c though. feeding in a floppy to play a game!

had to plug in an adapter to my first car's tape deck so that it could connect to a portable cd player, but man that would skip like crazy on bumpy roads

at least I never had to learn programming feeding punch cards in a stack through a machine to see what the output would be!

My wife did the punch cards I was dating her when she was in programing classes any mistake and you had to run the whole thing again.

We did that 1 set. Everyone got a good laugh. I think I was Mr. rainbow (of course) or Mr pink. Dont know. Nobody gave us grief over it, it was funny and not ill willed.
