Yeah but I read it took forever to download them.
Everything about computers was slow then. There was a time when you could read text faster than modems could run text through them.
I wish I was born in 1970 so I could've experienced all the old technologies as well as the premium LSD of the 90's. So many people used to tell me, "You would've done great int he 80's," I didn't know what that meant until I was older and they're right, I would've enjoyed myself and I would've been one of those nerdy fuckers. Then again, I've enjoyed myself throughout my life and I am a nerdy fucker lol.
The first OS I ever used was Windows 95 in 1998 at 6 years old. I didn't grasp the inconvenience of dial-up until I was a little older but everything after Windows 2000 was fast.
