"I remember."

When everyone knew how to use DOS, because they had to.
When Windows 3.1 came as standard.
When soundcards were sold seperately from PCs.
When games were no more than 2mb each.
When all game music was midi.
When 500mb of hard drive space was enough.
When 8mb of RAM was too much.
When Windows Media Player couldn't play MP3s.
When Voodoo cards ruled the nest.
When saying "Are you gay?" and making a unit say "Yes" in Warcraft was a fully original and humerous idea.
When 800 by 600 was a high resolution.
When CD burners were brand new, cost more than a car and could only write at x4 speed.
When being able to jump and crouch in Dark Forces was a big deal.
And when being born in the 80s meant you were young.


Just had to get that off my chest. I feel old.

I remember when the school Nimbus was all powerful.

I used to draw cartoon characters on them, never used them for "notes" though

Oh, and the time |I bought a hard drive for it. Wow, the difference in speed and convenience - amazing.

Ah those days were great. I remember saving up for ages for a massive 8MB RAM expansion for my A1200. It made a massive difference.

And instruction manuals always had a few pages at the back for "notes".

Did anyone EVER use them?

I wasn't around back then.

Or you had to click the symbol matching the one on the bottom of page 23.

Or when you had a page full of passcodes with different line and column numbers.

So when you started the game the screen said;

Line 23 Column 6 then you typed in the password at those coordinates.

Before the days of serial numbers, games like Monkey Island had those wheel things, where you had to match up two thingies. Of course, all you had to do was photocopy the wheel and you could pirate the game as much as you liked.

Those were the days.
