Remembering the past

I decided to remember how it was before in the world of information technology. Yes, and with Habrom wanted to share. The post is intended for the older generation from the “Shkolote not understand” series. And you had the same?

• We worked with mice without a wheel, and we felt fine.
• We woke up parents of dial-up at night when we went to the Internet. But how did he sing;)
• Only we know what a multicard is.
• We were glad that the favorite mp3 song finally sounds on the computer without slowing down.
• This is what we wrote CD-R discs to take place until the last kilobyte.
• This we connected everything that is possible through RS-232
• Our parents pulled us out of Internet clubs late at night.
• It is our nerves of steel, because we have experienced the era of dial up
• This our generation worked behind lying system blocks
• When we shrink behind the keyboard, our fingers immediately became Ctrl + Alt + Del
• That joy that we experienced when buying the first 3D video card, modern gamers will not feel
• We wrote perl sites
• We sculpted the filters on the monitors so that our eyes would not leak out. Well, with cacti, too, something wise
• We knew by memory a lot of node names in Fido. And now we can remember something
• We caught an era of appearance, triumph and fall of optical media.
• We thought we could read the whole internet.
• We went to study with discs wrapped in foil
• Once upon a time, we and the 100 KB on the disk was for the joy
• We still remember Cyrix processors and ISA slot
• Oh, these dot-matrix printers and roll paper ...
• We went to internet clubs with a floppy bag or hard drive.
• We put Windows 95 out of 13 floppies, which were then removed anyway and returned to MS DOS
• There was more noise from our computers than performance
• Remember still files vc.com, nc.com, win.com, command.com
• We used such a unit of measurement of speed as "Boda"
• We used the last money to buy cards for the Internet and sat in it hourly.
• We were often not get through ...
• We split the files in order to transfer them to a diskette.
• We did not know social networks, so we communicated first by mail and later in chat rooms, IRC, ICQ

That's it. Share your memories, we are also interested :)
