Have you ever been to a site you just KNOW you're gonna get a virus from? you can just feel something is shady and not right before you get it. :p:

And you still go in? Yes. Luckily my Chromebook is basically virus-proof. It might not be able to do much beyond web browsing, but I can look at all the ****ed up **** that I want.

So does anybody still have a computer with a floppy disk drive? (The smaller, hard disks, not the floppy floppy disks.) It was only recently that I realized that newer computers didn't have them, and I honestly have no idea when they stopped becoming standard.

The 3 1/2" floppy disk? I haven't seen one of those things in at least 10 years.

It's called a cell phone. Cutting edge technology.

No idea, but I know it had Windows 95. And mine came with Hover: capture the flags, play bumper cars with the enemy hover cars, and the same three levels over and over again. I loved it.

Look at me now, duel screen 27 in flatscreen LG monitors with 2 terabytes of hard drive space. I've grown.

Two terabytes??? Two! Pshaw! I have sixteen, and I still haven't enough space! :laughing:

And that you don't have to remember to log off, as I frequently forgot to at night and only realised when I was at work the next day that I was still online and being charged by the hour!! Or that you don't have to call down and say "does anyone want to use the phone? I'm going on the internet to do something, but whatever it is, it is expressly not related to looking up porn!" And then get cut off when some ****er forgets you're on the modem!!!

Can't remember the exact model, but it was a Gateway 2000 with Windows 95 similar to this:

Yes! I used to play this game the whole time. It was a simple game but it was so much fun. Ah, the memories.

Ah Gateway! The cow computer! :)

What is wrong with you? I swear, the youth of today...

My current computer doesn't but the one prior to that, about ten years old, does. I still have boxes of them. Remember Norton Backup? "Backup your whole PC onto thirty handy floppy discs!" :rolleyes:

Jesus! It looks just like a pretty woman! I want one of those!

In 2012 I was working in office supply retail hell and had customers ask for floppies, AOL trial CDs, Zip disks (by which they meant flash drives), and Office 97.

SPECIFICALLY ASKED for Office 97.

We also had people come in every week buying 100-packs of DVD-Rs. They burned movie-of-the-week cam-rips by the hundreds and pushed them on people in our parking lot for $5 each.

God I loved that job.
