God dammit, now I want to install windows xp again. Does it have the same level of botnet as others?
Jacob James

Leo Moore
just never go online with it
Carson Bennett
I'm not sure which is more satisfying... the fact I can download a 1080p film now in a matter of minutes, or the feeling I had in the morning after torrenting all night, and getting some shitty 480p chinese rip of a film finally complete it's download. I certainly wouldn't want to go back to them speeds, but the feeling of having finished downloads was much more satisfying.

I had this powerfull ass magnet from a radio antenna, if it was anywhere closer than 2 feet from the CRT the image would start warping, I could make it build up magnetism so fast so I could degauss again it broke the thing in a month.

OH MY GOD YES
Lucas James
i'm 22 faggots just never felt the need to put a magnet on my electronics

summer is here
Caleb Jenkins
CRT displays build up their magnetic field naturally, there was an option in the menu to degauss, lower it down to stop image warping, retention, color shift and some other shit.
It has nothing to do with putting magnets into your electronics.
Chase Jones
OK then. Well I also never used that option.
Jaxson Myers
That is one of the rare times beige has ever looked nice.
Christian Murphy
I kind of miss tweaking my system to get the most out of it and reinstalling windows every month or so. I did everything so I could get my P233MMX with 64MB to play RA2 with 2 AI players. Think that's just getting old though and now having money to just buy whatever I need.
Robert Kelly
I used Nero Burning ROM back then I loved it. Pirated it down with my very first private tracker. Neighbours usually came to us to use it and I made them pay. It was glorious.

PS1 startup sound. Once in a while when nobody else was home, I'd plug into my dad's stereo and crank the volume up so high it would rattle the windows.
Still have my PS1 (and NES and Atari 2600), working like new.

>11 year old forum thread about south Korea and win98 somehow makes "North Korea uses win95" a meme
Fuck off to reddit, retard

Oh god you are retarded. Im just going to stop here, you obviously never heard about NK using 98/95

My favorite defragmenter was Norton, or something like that, on DOS. Oh my god, that extended ASCII block representation. Fucking loved watching that run. I think it must have been Norton Utilities Disk Doctor. I think an earlier version, maybe, had a more colorful representation.
Here's a video of the early Microsoft one (which I'm sure they bought from somebody, but I don't remember who):

My favorite practical old-school tech were the LZ executable compressors. Back in the Amiga days, running everything off a 3.5" floppy, it was faster to load a compressed executable and de-compress it in RAM before running it. The tool basically compressed the executable, then wrapped it with an executable wrapper.
On Windows there was a product with a similar goal, but I think it did whole-disk compression. StackIt, or something like that. They sued Microsoft when MS implemented their own variant.

Yeah no, I used one of these again recently and there's no nostalgia. Laser mice are vastly better.
Ryan Diaz
Always defragment 3 times, user.

This little fucker right here was amazing for all those late-night Quake multiplayer games. Bunnyhopped so much the right mouse button exploded.

I don't miss having to clean my mouse balls or rollers, but early laser mice were genuine garbage. They started fielding them long before the lasers had enough DPI to stop jumping around.
