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?
    • 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 :)
