Remembering the past
I decided to recall how and what happened before in the world of information technology. And I wanted to share it with Habr. The post is intended for the older generation, from the series "Shkolota do not understand." Did you have the same?
That's it. Share your memories, we are also interested :)
- We worked with mice without a wheel, and we felt fine.
- We woke up the parents at night with a dial-up when we accessed the Internet. But how did he sing;)
- Only we know what a multicard is.
- We were happy that our favorite mp3 song finally sounds on the computer without slowing down
- This we wrote CD-R discs so as to take place until the last kilobyte
- That we connected everything that is possible through RS-232
- It was our parents who pulled us by the ears from online clubs late at night.
- It is our nerves of steel because we survived the era of dial up
- This generation of ours worked behind recumbent system units.
- It was with us when shrinking at the keyboard that our fingers immediately became in the position of Ctrl + Alt + Del
- The joy that we experienced when buying the first 3D video card, modern gamers will no longer feel
- We wrote perl sites
- It was we who sculpted filters on the monitors so that our eyes did not leak out. Well, with cacti, too, they were wise
- We knew many names of nodes in Fido as a souvenir. Yes, and now we can remember something
- We caught the era of the appearance, triumph and fall of optical media
- We thought we could read the whole internet.
- We went to school with foil-wrapped discs
- Once upon a time, 100 Kb on disk was a joy for us.
- We still remember the Cyrix processors and the ISA slot
- Ah, these dot matrix printers and roll paper ...
- We went to online clubs with a bag of floppy disks or a hard drive.
- We installed Windows 95 out of 13 floppy disks, which were then deleted anyway and returned to MS DOS
- There was more noise from our computers than performance
- Remember the files vc.com, nc.com, win.com, command.com
- We used such a unit of speed measurement as "Baud"
- We bought cards for the Internet for the last money and sat in it hourly
- We often did not get through ...
- We split files in order to transfer them to a floppy disk
- We did not know social networks, so we first communicated by mail, and later in chat rooms, IRC, ICQ
That's it. Share your memories, we are also interested :)
