Eh… Windows 7 background ain’t THAT old. Still the best OS they made.
The standard 5” floppy. The best part was putting down the latch on the drive and that sweet sound it made.
Remind me to send you a picture of my 3ish feet diameter hard drive platter
Turning on the tower with your foot…yeah, that unlocks some memories, lol.
Now do you also remember shutting it down with your foot?
“It’s now safe to turn off your computer”
I didn’t shut down the computer that way, I’d go through the menus and such. At that point I’d just have to shut off the monitor. If I had to do a restart 'cuz the damn thing froze then yeah, I’d use my foot.
Ah yes, the toe remote still works, also for laptops and without even changing batteries.
Heh, this is brand new software and tech as far as I’m concerned. I remember when the computer did not automatically boot into windows and you had to cd c:\windows and then win.exe.
LOAD “*”, 8, 1Honestly it feels new to me too. I just thought the meme would spark some nostalgia for all us old(er) people who like to complain about the youngsters
All this feels pretty old for me
Heh, the days when the six 3.5" floppies of Wing Commander was a huge install and often required a hard disk clean out.
4 of these don’t belong
7 of these don’t belong
Why is there a spider on my solitaire card? Where the fuck is my Minesweeper and Netscape Navigator?
Hell yeah!
Good old Minesweeper and Space Cadet 3D Pinball
You think this is old? Where are the stone tablets with chisels? Kids the days…
Chisels? In my day you used a triangular reed and you liked it
It’s not safe to turn off your computer.
There are enemies nearby.Random tangent, my dad edited the system file that contained that message to “It’s not safe to turn off your computer” when I was like 5 and it kinda fucked me up for a bit.
I loved the island guy and the bad dog ones. Loved After Dark
I’m old enough to remember when the Internet was this for us:
I remember this:
This I remember, also askjeeves, dogpile or something (I think it searched like 30+ different search engines and combined the results)
Hi, kiddie!
Win7 isn’t that old.
People born when Windows 7 was released can get a driver’s license in many parts of the world
you take that back
Fuck I’m old.
I mean, I’m in my early 40s and I’ve started with ms-dos. According to this meme what am I? A fucking dinosaur? Am I that old?
In my early 30’s. Started with W95. But did dabble in dos sometimes
Same, but then you severely undersold how old you are. Like, where’s the Space Cadet, at least?
On your phone, now. Somebody decompiled it and released it on the Google Play store.
Yeah, I have it on Vita, Switch and Steam Deck. Cause why not. Wonder if it’s on 3DS…
Not reverse engineered. Decompiled and republished. It’s exactly the same one from the ground up.
That’s nice. But it already seemed pretty accurate to me.
I remember playing a hotseat game with my friend and his brothers ( I think heroes of might and magic 2) and I accidentally big toed the power button, just like in this picture 😅
Everyone was pretty gutted, although we then found out that autosave happened every turn, what a releif.
Nah, old(er) people would boot directly to a BASIC editor.
I’m in my late 20s and started with ms-dos too. And even tried OS/2 to check I wasn’t missing something before upgrading to 3.1 then XP 😂
