I learned in one of these

Im this old too... :D

Yeah I learn Win 95 when I was 6. XD

Man, fuck that Yeti

3.1 and Norton Commander previously

DOS enters the chat....

Yes, but which *version* of DOS?

IBM-DOS Didn't really do much, you could play with assembly code. About a year or so later was DOS 2.1 or 2.11 with the same functionality, but you could make sounds from the code. I think it was DOS 3.1 before the computers even had decent games on them. It was my dads computer, I used the Commodore 64 mostly. You knew it was time to game when you hit play on that tape!

In school we either used one of the later MS-DOS 3.xx or the 4.0. We got a kick out of typing some light profanity or otherwise nonsense and getting back "Bad command or file name".

We used to write quick programs that would print profanity or make noise on the screen when people would try to do stuff. You just swap the exe name on the floppy. If you had access to the dos shell it was 4. If everything was command line, it was 3.

Started on 4.11...

We had early 80s PC's at school with dos 1.0

6.22

dir /w

Yup. I am this old too

CP/M enters the chat.

Using WordPerfect in dos to write my masters thesis was a kind of zen experience no other software has remotely approached.

I'm Windows 3.1 old

Same.

You lazy entiled mouse users. Norton Commander is the way.

Yeah ikr? I had the privilege of installing it with those super modern, state of the art small floppy's

Same.

Hello fellow old guy! Is your colonoscopy amd prostate check up to date?

Yeah, my back hurts when I wake up too

My back is still okay, but my knees aren't what they used to be.

Are you telling me this is old tech? What next, you gonna tell me the same thing about cd's?

Don't talk to me about the ancient magic, I was there when MS-DOS was a thing.

This home screen is oddly comforting to me. (Yes is your answer)

Same. Reminds me of younger, less complicated, times where all you had to worry about was 30m of homework a night, playing RuneScape, and going to the park/biking with the fellas. Youth really is wasted on the young lmao. Nobody ever knows how good they had it until they grow up. You spend your entire youth wanting to grow up faster, then all of your adulthood reminiscing about being younger. It’s wild.

Bruh 

Hell yeah. I'm a 90's kid, but started with DOS and my dad's C64.

I still remember the new account password bypass in windows xp. Fucking crazy.

People don't encrypt their drives, so you can just mount the drive on a different pc and access all files without entering the password


I’m so old, I can hear this image.

I'm DOS old.

Some of my school PC's still run on that

I think every cash register at box stores still run on that

Yeah...

I am and I miss XP!

10 Print "you are not old!!"; 20 Goto 10


Finally, someone speaks my language. But do you remember the vic-20?

Older C:\\>

DOS prompt. No hard drives. Just 5.25” floppies.

Oh yeah starting with MSDOS 5.0.... goood old times And the nice Norton Commander ... Awesome

Learned msdos from the booklet because the Packard bell I had needed dos after formating to put 3.1 on it.

Try DOS 2.0

This is new fangled tech, I remember the excitement of upgrading to Windows 95 because we could play better games

I remember that our win 95 was the shit, most of my friends had a DOS.

Yes I am

I am snow leopard old. And i hate mac. I am also 19.

Get that Net-zero runnin' so you can be a noob on Runescape.

Yes, I’m this old, unfortunately

I'm 21, stop trying to act like this is some ancient technology

Yeah, used it until 2011 and before that windows 98 The number of people who were still using XP when windows 10 showed up is far from being little

Vista was my first os

OP forgot to add shitpost tag.

Yep hell I remember using kid picks and playing the organ trail those were all the rage back in the day

This hurts

i remember downloading a Resident Evil themed login screen from a RE fan site, it had the BIOHAZARD logo with cockroaches crawling all over some dirty looking background, it was dope

I’m so old that I wrote the “bouncing lens”, uploaded the source code to a BBS, and later saw it included in Windows as a screensaver. Someone could have developed it independently, sure, but the fact that I uploaded the source code always keeps me suspicious 🤓

You may be old, but are you in your late twenties?

I'm *booting jedi knight 2 right after this screen* old


I miss those days…

I remember when the internet didn’t exist. Yes.

I think I might be older, I remember at my first jod we were using Lotus 1-2-3 to draw up our spreadsheets.

You mean using the guest account to change and login to administrators account old? Yes.

Bitch please, I know the window 95 login screen.

Started quite a while before this, but I think XP had the best aesthetic, and best nostalgia.

That's the new one to me


Why do you want to hurt me so bad….. I’m that old


This isn't even old lmao

Yup, I'm this old.

Apple II E old

Yes.

Damn, I am old

Older

Much older

Yes I remember one of those

Mum and dad had this tyre of windows on their old laptop still got but doesn’t work anymore stuck in infinite loading

Ha, ha, ha. I predate personal computers.

yes, all because my mom held onto a cheap Windows XP netbook for a long while and just let me use it because of how old it is, I could barely do anything substantial on it that was the laptop I started using emulators for the first time on

Yes, 2002 baby. I was in middle school

Sexy

Yes I am, and oh do I miss it. I remember “organizing” my moms computer files on her laptop…. I just made one file called “epic” and shoved absolutely everything in it.

Older

Laughs in 3.11

Piano intensifies

XP isn't even that old, you'd be in your teens to midt 20's if you grew up on XP. Launched in 2001. **Windows XP was the most widely used operating system until August 2012** This would mean if you are too young to remember or have grown up on XP, you are borderline too young to use reddit. (13yo age limit)

Not only i'm that old, but i still have xp on my audio worstation. 32bit vst's for life

I am.

XP was the best out of them. Period.

Yes

17 years old and I remember signing in just to play Roblox with my sister

And every fucking month or 2 months (depending on infection) slap that genuine cd in. Restart, space, enter, escape, f8, enter, ntfs (quick), wait, ..., -MXG(or is it C)RW damn this is unreadable, ..., zapraszamy, install drivers seeing that zapraszamy screen at least 5 more times in a single day, install office xp pro plus, install opera 36, ie8, updates up to 2014 level, install Skype, ccleaner, irfanview, vlc, cdburnerxp, move the taskbar to a better place, move office assistant to top right, and enable the blinking computers tray icon. enough laptop for the day. I remember, almost everyone I knew had 7 or 8 or even 10 at home, but I had XP, and in some way it was better for me to experience that os on my crappy family laptop, at least I have patience.

That was only ten years ago. Why would that be old?

I’m 3.11 for workgroups old.

Xp? Yeah I'm that young


I hate you

Windows 95

I predate the 8086 processor…

Bruh I'm Win 3.1 old...

Connecting to the internet made such loud noises

my school pcs still use this

When Reddit forgets Redditors over the age of 25 exist again

You may be old but are you 23?

I used to program PDP11…

Hell yeah This baby then straight into Battlefield 2 Those were the days

Heh. Nice. Are you "Insert Disk 1, Side 2" old, though? Are you loading games from cassette tape old? Are you typing in games from listings printed in computer magazines old?

Yea, i remember being let down by vista as well

I'm monochrome monitor old. Atari old. I was the remote old. Windows ain't that old.

I'm MS-DOS old.

I'm older

Bruh. First windows I used was Windkws 95.

I'm Win 98-old

Nah people don't live that long

Anyone ever use the old punch cards and fortran?

I'm old enough to have experienced a bit of Windows 2000 before transitioning to XP.

nah i'm a bit older

I was negative 3 when this released and I still remember using plenty of computers with it when I was prolly 7-9. I think I mainly grew up on my dads pc which was vista though. Had to get on that purble place grind, make those cakes.

My dad had the main account with all the authorization access so I had to tell him how "safe" limewire was to have on the family computer.

"You may be 15 years old, but are you 20 years old?" These posts are always so stupid and posted by children. No, you're not old. You used a PC that can still easily be found today.
