unless you where invited into a server before the internet meaning a legit just server room for big old mainframe computers

Ok I’m not THAT old lol

I just had a birthday, don’t do that to me lol

lmao

hey, i remember 3 1/2 inch floppies. And i think there is still a PC in my parents attic with a 5 1/4 drive in it

No, my experience is with people themselves and cons. Now, I did do my research, and I have read everything I can get my hands on...but my opinion is firm, as no matter how I try to change it, I always seem to run into the degenerates...so I don’t know

along side a 3 1/2 and a CD drive, for some reason

I remember the commodor

Text games

MSDOS

DOS still alive and well under all the set dressing

yeah lol

had to run through it for a week one summer when my OS shit the bed on vacation, backing up important files and trying to repair the OS with a repair CD that WASN'T an install disk

Oh ouch

because Microsoft thought that was helpful to just have the repair utility that never works on a CD and leave you without a windows install disk

C:// shutdown

I think was what we hide to have to type in to turn it off

I THINK don’t quote me it’s been WAY too long lol

but, it could launch command prompt and get me into basically DOS, although they changed up the kernel in NT so its not exactly DOS.

Yeah, DOS use to be simple lol, I was fiddling with it at 5

I use to be the kid at school that would shut the computer down in the kindergarten room when I didn’t want anyone else playing

kidpix was mine only! XD LMFAO

oh god, kidpix

The teacher use to get SO MAD

>when <#398973785426100234> turns into <#399308558354874381>

i blame the furries

and then would ask what happened, I use to say, I don’t know, it just went black

XD LMFAO! yeah really right

And the teacher would have to call tech

When I look back on it, everyone knows how to work one, back then no one knew and had to call tech for the smallest things

kids are always more technologically savvy than older generations. Lucky people, brains empty so they all this room to absorb new stuff

after working IT, i can attest they still don't know how to work anything

Yeah lol, I think our generation has the best advantage, we were kind of there at the start of it being mainstream in homes

there is a reason the first question is always "have you tried turning it on and off" and "is it plugged in"

My dad has been able to keep up, along with most of his gaming friends, but the vast majority of his generation doesn’t get it lol

YES!

i am honestly amazed at the number of people who can operate a smart phone and not know how to do ANYTHING related to technology. Truly a testament to the UI designers.

Thank you! See I tried explaining this to my dad, he was so mad when he gets asked if it’s plugged in and to try turning it off and on again; his generation is the reason lol

not just his generation

the number of people, of all generation, who call with a problem that was quickly fixed with turning it on or off, or checking if it has power

Yeah me too, my goddaughter can work a smartphone in and out, but to work anything else, she doesn’t know

No I know, I usually just say his Gen because for a lot it gets the point across
