Give me the 95 screensaver.. This thing too much new.


Are you like 100yo?


3.1 old first pc was 1991 Packard Bell 386


I came from a future past.. 👀


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.


Im MSDOS 3 old


Lol I’m so old, I remember Windows XP as a huge upgrade 😂


Yes, I’m fucking old. Type Windows 95 old ☎📟💾📼🗝💽👴🏼


Shit….basic
MsDos was revolutionary


Came here to post something similar


`Apple IIe`


At least no one is "punchcard old" (or are they)? 😃

https://m.primal.net/HWoo.jpg


Is that 3.1? Looks a bit like 3.1


my dad had this exact computer when I was kid!


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.


Is that 3.0 or 3.1?


I hung on to XP Pro as long as I could.

Went from that to 7.


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.


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.


Commodore 64 old

Good times.

I remember when games had both Windows and DOS modes. And you better guess the right IRQs during setup or things wouldn't work quite right.


win 3.1.1 was my jam....


I liked watching "pipes" as well as "maze"


Older sadly.


Good times.


My dude. This is only 23 years ago.


My first computer used a cassette tape - Sinclair spectrum 16k 😂


Great screensaver game


That means it’s been old enough to drink for two years. 🥹😭😭😭


I am also this old.


"Pipes" was pretty good too

"somebody 3d printed the Save icon!" 🤣


Is that a floppy disk? 🤯


Ram cartridge, cassette drive, right?


It is indeed


But the older, 5 1/4 one.


This looks like a dark mode version of a printed receipt 🥹🤯🫣


Just imagine what the woke brigade will have had with floppy and hard disks


Check those specs - fancy pants with 2 floppy disks


😂😂🤣 probably would have complained that it was inhumane to ask a person to spend more than a second to store/save something 🙏🏽 there would have been uproar

I actually miss my Postman Pat cassette tapes 🥹 had good times with those 😌


This sentence doesn’t make any sense


I am this old

Fun fact: Boeing 747’s run on floppy disks


Only


YES! …but no soeech synthesizer?  And where’s the tape backup?


Fixed it - Just imagine what the woke brigade will have had “to say”with “regards to” floppy and hard 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 🤣


What are these nice colors? My childhood was monochrome green.

Pentium 486 first PC in 1994.


These were the good times! „Come get some!“


Yes. I remember typing the command line prompts and then counting with the cassette player until the game was loaded. I played mission impossible with it, which required playing the cassette for every level.


Blooody hell 😂😂😂🤣

Ahh man do you remember video tapes !

I miss blockbuster 😂🤣🥹


I remember them unraveling in the machine


Good times 😌🤣


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.


Dos 6 win 3.11

Windows XP?

We had one of these between 40 of us at school & we did a course called CLAIT on it - computer literacy & info tech , brings a little nostalgia tear to my eye 🥲😊

Times when we had a valid excuse why we can't just stop and go to bed 😆


Pretty sure this went on for about a decade stopped for a bit then started again with msn msgr 🤣


Hehe true


I wrote my college papers on this: https://image.nostr.build/74beaec1c7f46d2110daa45d49fc2bd03af018c251ad1a4cfc2ee0299a9c5c1b.jpg

Dos or something similar on a Texas Instruments computer old


I'm Windows 98 old and since becoming more UNIXy, I almost exclusively use Silicon Graphics motif-themed GUIs. 90s just got it right.


Press Play on Tape XD


MS DOS old....


Yup.


And then carefully watch the counter


The coloured horizontal flashing stripes rocked my soxks


What drove me nuts was reloading the game from the start after making a mistake with the tape.


You're extremely cute rn, kiddo.


I am regrettably this old.

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.


Can confirm


I'm a little older than that, like first Apple Mac older
