Give me the 95 screensaver.. This thing too much new.
Are you like 100yo?
I came from a future past.. 👀
3.1 old first pc was 1991 Packard Bell 386
That's like WWII computer!! 😵☠️😱
My first experience was my friend had and apple II E that was in like 7th grade, so that would have been 82 or so.
Lol I’m so old, I remember Windows XP as a huge upgrade 😂
I hung on to XP Pro as long as I could. Went from that to 7.
It wasn’t 😂
Nope. But it did feel pretty sweet finally getting a machine that could run it. 😎

Is that 3.1? Looks a bit like 3.1
Is that 3.0 or 3.1?

Came here to post something similar
my dad had this exact computer when I was kid!
At least no one is "punchcard old" (or are they)? 😃 https://m.primal.net/HWoo.jpg
Not punch card old, but i did learn Fortran 77 in a freshman engineering class in 1994. Fortran syntax was still based on 70 characters per line to fit punched cards. Next semester the department switched to C++. Interesting fact the electrical modeling software PSS/E-PSCAD still uses Fortran.
I used punchcards once at an engineering firm to reload an original NRC approved/verified program, that we modified and were forced to compare our modified output to an original values which had to be reloaded from “cards” for recertification. I think it was a government thing.
486dx with 4 megs of ram was enough to play DOOM. 😎
I was just thinking about this the other day. I remember in grade school being taught how to type on computers with 5 1/4 floppies. The first computers I remember playing were on dos with green screens. My first PC that was fully mine was one of the early versions of Compaq Presario in the mid 90s. I remember playing Warcraft, Fallout, and Diablo on that machine while checking the warez scene and using Napster.
Commodore 64 old
Your post is being well-received. Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed

Dad - what on earth is this? https://image.nostr.build/46de75913ede441ed4ec47d6d96e44ea8b13575ee78c94ba62876e63b0601e6c.jpg
"somebody 3d printed the Save icon!" 🤣
Is that a floppy disk? 🤯
But the older, 5 1/4 one.
Just imagine what the woke brigade will have had with floppy and hard disks
Fun fact: Boeing 747’s run on floppy disks
🤯😱 whaaaa is that safe? I mean it must be but they haven’t decided to use anything else? 👀 kinda cool but I know Richard Branson must have a rainy day stash somewhere to improve it 🤣😂
It’s safe, the 747’s are from the 80’s so they just use the storage that was available at the time They stopped making them recently so it’s probably CDs in the new ones 🤣
Blooody hell 😂😂😂🤣 Ahh man do you remember video tapes ! I miss blockbuster 😂🤣🥹

My TI-99 had the reboot key right next to the plus key. Early lessons in saving often...
To be honest, I remember little of mine. Pretty sure I had two games at most, so the only way to play something new was to type the code in myself from a book of my parents bought me. Finally we upgraded to the C64, which at least had a pretty good trade in pirated games.
No. This- https://image.nostr.build/835c82fdd0811c15c13e3c96ecc8c98cd09edb6eb9041de97d5ea993e0c488af.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=474x394&blurhash=%23hJ8Ig%25M%7EqtRt7WBaef5f8xuayofWCRjWBRPj%5Bj%5BRkWBWARjRkj%3Faxjuj%5BWUa%23aeoft7j%5Dt7a%7Ba%7Dxuj%40f7oLfjWBWVWBWBWBRjWUWBayayoeofoft7a%7DjsoeWBoff6bHj%5D&x=9f50e4d48723b85bf818b4c5fdec68e8256cf6d37c572d945309e68fe9a7732e

I have a TRS-80 in storage. I need to fire it up and show my kid. The Model 100 is still nice to type on for text things, so I may start letting him play with that a bit. I have some of the comics, also, but no memory of how I got them.
