    When I was 12 the boobs weren’t done downloading over the 9600 baud modem yet anyway.

      9600? Luxury.

      I started with 300 baud, where you could read faster than the letters would show up. And we liked it that way! (not really lol)

        Oh yeah, tough guy? I wrote telex over an unstable 75 baud uhf-SATCOM link running on a fleetsat from the 70’s. Pretty crappy and I didn’t like it, since I had to usually send it several times ;-)

        You guys are spoiled. My modem was so slow that, when I wanted to see boobs I had to grow my own.

        I wrote my first code at the end of a 300baud accoustic coupled modem. I don’t know if the “not really” was modifying the “liked it that way” or the entire post.

        300 baud? Psh, my dick is way bigger.

        Wait, sorry, forgot if we were discussing or swinging it around.

        I once managed to borrow a 300 bps modem for my Commodore 64, and showed some of the local online services to my friend who owned the modem. (It was actually super fancy because I managed to use a terminal program that showed 80 mildly blurry characters per line.) By that time our family had a PC with a 2400 bps modem.

    Why is that Windows 7 with the XP wallpaper?

    Virtual desktops solve the empty desktop problem.

      They also solve the Bethesda-Game-Crash-To-Desktop problem too.
      Alt-Tab, then Ctrl-Tab, open a new desktop, open task manager.

        Wow, how have I never thought to try this before. It will sadly be very useful I’m sure

    I know that’s 7, but it really makes me want to bust out my XP rig.
