The Hangout: Don't you dare put me on HRSA.

I'm 19 Sprung, I DID saw the old internet. Well, not old as you, but I remember speeds below 56k.

What I mean is...when AOL wanted to enter the Mexican Market they did it with horrible discs that fucked up your computer, and basically locked you from using a different ISP. (Of course, to the normal-user, the kind that sends their computers to repair when "It just doesn't turn on anymore. " ) But heck, it was annoying as hell.

They have dissapeared over here ever since.

awesome.

I used to format those floppies and had all the free storage I wanted

Hmm...I know it had like 512k on the card. I think it was a Hercules.

I doubt directx was even thought about.

DirectX was around since DOS 5.0 I think (maybe 6.0)

Also, DX2 never really was used, it was shipped to some 3rd party devs and died. DX3 was the first windows DX version.

Which reminds me, some guy at 4chan (yeah, sometimes they have good "sauces" there. ) posted some OLD hentai pics and guys instead of saying: "DAMN THIS IS HOT" they were all: "Aww, I remember this was the first pics I ever downloaded" and started talking about internet speeds.

Interesting how porn can go into nostalgic and old talks.

We should live together. I wouldn't try to have sex with you or anything. Plus, I am a gay guy. I like to have ass fun. Gay is me.

Formatting is ok, but for the love of god DON'T COPY THAT FLOPPY! You'll send the computer world in a downward spiral with no recovery!

DOS 6.22 came out while I had my first PC, so I guess we're talking about the same timeframe.

Heh. I remember logging into "the net" for the first time. And I was so disppointed that it looked the same as things I had already seen on my PC. I don't know what I was really expecting it to look like, but just another windo with some information on it wasn't as "OMG TEH NET" as I had expected.

If your not trying all the time to score, then you must be gay. That is the rule these days anyway.

[Fer!]

awesome.

Yeah. I remember being kinda little and I noticed that they changed my logon screen. (back in Win 98) I only selected my name, and pressed OK to start my session, then the damn thing asked my username and password and I went all: "WTF IS THIS SHIT!?" back then.

Awesome. Too bad those were cd's. >__> Though I remember formatting some floppies that had the drivers for the printer and using them in an emergency for some work at school.

When I first used the internet in second grade (This would be 1995, I think? ) I was extremely disappointed it wasn't a magical virtual reality neon lit world like something out of Tron.

You don't have to all the time, but you can at least show some signs of life.

Yeah, that's what I mean. It wasn't "new" or different. Just another window.

That, until nekkid wemins started showing up. Then, I was impressed.

The first thing I downloaded was a screensaver...I can't remember what it was, just that it took me about 8 hours to download it

Should have gone straight for the porn then.

You should try to score with GIRLS from now on though if you want to protect your image
