From The NY Times today: "As a teen in the early 2000s, I spent a lot of time on online message boards. They were funny, chaotic places where my fellow nerds and I spent hours arguing about everything under the sun: sports, music, video games, the latest episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” No matter the topic [even a "Deal Coming Soon!"] there was one universal experience: On every board, some divisive issue would inevitably erupt into conflict, and an angry group of users — often led by a single, vocal one who felt they were being treated unfairly [MarAzul?] — would lead a rebellion against the “mods,” the moderators who had the privileges to delete posts, ban unruly users and set the rules of the board. Sometimes, the mods quelled the fight or struck a compromise, and brought the board back into harmony. [Thank you Sly!] Other times, the angry users broke off and started their own forum, or the board simply became so intolerable that everyone left. But that internet is long gone now. Social media apps killed the messy, unruly message boards and replaced them with slick personalized feeds...." ___ Ah, but not here. Love live the "messy, unruly" S2 Blazer and OT Forums. Let the wild bickering begin!
Your talking to a guy who still has a cassette tape library in his man cave and got his first cell phone a couple years ago!
I still remember that my first computer (business) had a 60MB hard drive. That's the size of an HD photo in a camera now
I had the original Apple with the built in 400kb drive....could add and optional 800kb external drive...still no color screen...
I remember the first naked picture I downloaded online took overnight. Amber Lynn. I met her years later.
I did give the VHS collection to Goodwill but still have two high quality players and some blanks for recording
My dad has a collection of about 300 cassettes along with the wooden boxes that separate each one to display. He’s looking at getting rid of them all since he switched to CDs a while back. He’ll load up on a dozen CDs he finds at goodwill for next to nothing.
A scripting language. You could write simple programs or (what would later be called) PowerPoint-like presentations in it.
I made a huge mix tape compilation of my cassette collection that went way back....left the collection and had fresh tapes with the best of ...lot of old Chess and Stax blues stuff...some out of print..glad I actually preserved them....left the old collection with a library in Taiwan
not sure...probably a floppy disc program...I used Master Tracks on mine for midi recording and it was a looper for sounds....Herbie Hancock used one on Rocket man...
I actually have copies of Beatles LPs and Hendrix LPs that were recorded to cassette and then transferred to CDRs.….best sounding in my collection by far...
