Nostalgia thread

Yea, in those times anyone who wanted to use computers needed a brain and some actual knowledge.

>configuring hardware resources such as IRQ manually so it works correctly
>configuring all kinds of stuff in DOS (or even in Windows 9x) manually so desired software works correctly and efficiently

I never have to fight with that kind of stuff with DOS shitboxes desu

Then again I don't use many peripherals with them and I've started using NT whenever possible.

You mean post what you allowed yourself to remember, nostalgia is cancer.

>>52463377
yeah bro, now it's too easy. fuck, it all should have stayed hard and obtuse, so I can turn technology into yet another competition and put everyone into a virtual ladder and push everyone away

I was around back then and I hated messing with IRQ conflicts and Plug and Pray in Win95. Things are infinitely better now.

I remember using a cradle modem.
I remmber over clocking a 486 by installing a heat sink/fan and bridging jumpers with my dad.

I had a few 3dfx cards.

I remember getting a cd rom for xmas. It was huge.

I had the original iomega zip drive , the blue one with the parallel port and pass through.

I had a iomega Click drive.

I remember over clocking a thunderbird using a homemade watercooling set up.

I miss gateway.

the nostalgia quandary: you'll never have all this stuff now back again so you can judge it to be shit.

Museums make us masturbate to old deprecated garbage as if it were some mystical way of life not even 30 years ago. If only, if only, the dumb little glass could be removed and people could put their hands on it and use it, and find out how shit it is and was. But the glass will never be removed. Just like the glass and plastic of nostalgia goggles and rose tinted glasses can never be removed.

why are you so bitter about this shit senpai that you feel the need to blog about it in every single thread

nobody cares that some fags on an anonymous imageboard called you a kid once when you were being a retard and hurt your feelings desu

The one abiding memory i have of my dad teaching me some basic DOS commands back in 1998; He was showing me hoe to mount a floppy in order to play vidya.
