But did you have the cassette drive?It was a 300 baud modem...had that too
I installed a C64 emmulator last month just to play Pirates Finally finished it as a rich retired English baron with a hot wife
Haha 56k, phone lines were now the bottleneck.lol I remember dialup in the 90's. man it sucked. downloading porn? pfft being "finished' before the picture even loaded.. yeah good times.
i used to sit on IRC all the time. I would get on a few Warez channels and troll a few others. I loved going to channels like "dad daughter sex", "incest" etc. and get pictures off oggrish.com rename them and offer them via dcc. good times.
one of the first pirated games i got was diablo (I did buy it though! lol). i started the download and went to bed. it wasn't finished when i got up...
oh and 56k dialup? blew me the fuck away.

I think that my first CD-R was a mix CD of 90's REM and U2 songs, that I did with my snazzy new HP 4X SCSI CD burner. The SCSI burners were more reliable back then, as they seemed to have less issues with buffer underrun.
This was a prized addition to my Dell Dimension P75 back in the day

LOL, ur dreaming man; that was science fiction to us. i'm talking this piece of junk.
you had to physically hook the telephone to it, not just plug in a cable.
I love these nostalgia threads. My first modem was a 14.4 that I paid $200 for. I got most of the money by selling my old Apple IIe computer. lol Wasn't there some hardware/software gimmick that modems claimed they could double your speed?
I think scour existed for at least a year before Napster came out. If I recall correctly, scour transformed into scour something or other around the time Napster became known.did scour actually exist before Napster?
both scour CuteMX and WinMX were vastly superior to Napster as they let you share anything not just music
I managed to bring down my entire college network using WinMX
they didn't think that was as funny as I did
The very first CD I burned.... couldnt be read by the exact same drive that burned it. Hated the F#%YT#$ hell out of optical discs ever since. Even today I still get brand new discs that dont work in some drives. It's a sick joke... I wish those things would just go away. I wish Redbox had a USB port and you could just pop in your own thumb drive... it's not like they do not have the technology or the software expertise to make files that are only good for 24/48 hours.
They could just rent the movies on USB drives. No need to provide your own, just return the drive just like you return the discs. I expect they will eventually move to that model if physical media lasts that long. Lots of software providers are doing it instead of discs anyways.
yeah that'll go real well until the USB drives start being returned with rootkits and other assorted goodies.
My first READER was 500 bucks. Creative Labs. 1x reader. Came with 7th guest. Never finished that game.
