does software count?

>>45216282
Sure. but that was always serious. It is nostalgically beautiful but in retrospect really ugly.

I hate how people still think making their PC all glowy and shit looks cool.

>>45216315
kewl

When it was first out I thought it was 10/10 but now I look at it and it's terrible

I remember a story on the news how people were buying Windows 95 despite not even owning a PC.

>>45216315
That case it nice, glowing shit never looked cool

>>45216391
I was a bit young to remember this however it was great when it came out

>>45216246

W95 is still beautiful to me.
Same with this baby.

>>45216618
Mac OS was horrid and still is

>>45216618
I loved the old Mac OS. Fuck Steve Jobs for killing it off, OSX will always be shit.

>>45216634
I didn't enjoy using it but it looked pretty at least.

I can't believe I thought this looked good.

>>45216634
Confirmed for never having used Mac OS. Sure OSX is shit now, but the classic os was amazing.

Not gonna lie, that's a sexy laptop

No this is still great design.

>>45216813
Still the only good and consistent looking version of Windows.

>>45216813
don't blame yourself, most everyone in the early 2000's was fine with bright colors, rounded and translucent plastics, and gradients on everything

I always looked at Windows XP the same way I always looked a McDonald's Happy Meal toy.

I was only in middle school at the time, but I can't imagine businesses looking at this and thinking it would be appropriate. I imagine that's why my dad's company stuck with 2000 for a few years before finally caving in.

Nah. It's rarely an aesthetics decision. It's usually IT not wanting to/being incapable of doing the upgrade(s), loss of compatibility with software deploys (whole company uses X, new OS won't run X and makers of X will not be patching soon), and bean counters being short-sighted about the upfront cost of upgrading vs. cost of maintaining legacy.

Dis was nice. And so were portable DVD players.

>>45216202
Great design, but the mouse was terrible. Literally everything else about that design is damn near perfect

>>45216175
Every Thinkpad ever made.

The name of the game is grammar.

>>45218425
those never looked nice

>>45218425
That looks good in a retro sci-fi kind of way

I hate how everything has to be sad an monochrome and 2minimal now. The 00s were better.
