We still have the receipt for our Intel 80286 computer... I should totally scan that and post it. The computer is still in active use to this day, my parents have been doing their taxes on it for like 26 years, it's booted up once a year. Playing games on the computer meant so much more when computers were just barely able to function.
Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: mem on August 02, 2012, 05:27:46 AM I remember dialing up to german Warez BBS's to download "hacked, cracked and level packed" games.

Computer display was green and black. No HDD and no mouse. Everything booted from a 360 or 800 kB 5-1/4 inch floppy disk. Apple, Atari and Amiga was the way to go for personal computing... IBM was crap. Then... My 386 needed a mathematical coprocessor to do 3D drawing. Windows 95 and it's GUI was a novelty. 7+ X 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy disk was needed to install some software. Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: ribuck on August 02, 2012, 02:05:19 PM I remember when a block chain was one of these things:

Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: FreeMoney on August 02, 2012, 04:09:45 PM Bitcoins were 6 US cents!
...and 30 US bucks Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: ribuck on August 02, 2012, 04:34:10 PM I remember when you could get a pizza for 10,000 BTC.
Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: ElectricMucus on August 02, 2012, 04:39:48 PM I remember Cosbycoin

Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: bg002h on August 02, 2012, 11:50:43 PM This thread wasn't moved to off-topic. +1. I can't find stuff anymore...I'll need to start "watching" more threads. Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: bg002h on August 02, 2012, 11:55:06 PM TI basic on the TI-99 and cassette tape storage...and how cool the commodore64 was.
Next thing I remember was upgrading from dos 3.3 to 6.22 Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: myrkul on August 03, 2012, 02:02:57 AM __MTV showed music. Exclusively.
Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: knight22 on August 03, 2012, 03:32:05 AM I just discovered bitcoin! ;D
Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: Vod on August 03, 2012, 03:36:35 AM I shared my first sip of beer with my Dad
Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: thebaron on August 03, 2012, 03:36:41 AM I remember when I came across Bitcoins they were 8 cents. I forgot about it because it was around the time that CPU mining was becoming obsolete, and there wasn't many things you could spend them on at the time. So why should I have bought any, right? lol

So why should I have bought any, right? lol I remember looking bitcoin back up over a year after I initially discovered it and having missed the bubble.I remember liquidating my bitcoinica long position from 2 to 2.5 and watching the prices to continue to climb. Did lots of stupid things... Don't let that get you down, there will be another time. You have to be a contrarian investor at heart and always learn :) Title: Re: I remember when _______ Post by: LoupGaroux on August 03, 2012, 10:29:38 PM My first job in college was sysadmin for FORTRAN and COBOL.
Unprotected sex was safe (and fun and available!). A fag was something English wanna-be's smoked. Boeing 707's were the shit for transcontinental flight, and you could fly Braniff, TWA, Pan Am, Eastern, Piedmont, Hughes Airwest, and flight attendants were called stewardesses, and were uniformly hot females. Silicon Valley was the shitty part of the Bay Area, and the only thing to see there was the Winchester House, and then only if you were driving through, since it was on a par with the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz. European countries all had their own currencies, and they were cool- Marks, Francs, Drachma, Kroner, and traveling was a bitch because you had to know exchange rates against thirty currencies. There actually was a place where all the Communists lived, it was called the Soviet Union, and it was creepy as hell going there, and accidentally smuggling in 4 ounces of hash from Copenhagen damn near gave me a heart attack when I discovered it in my backpack, AFTER the border search.
