Red Eagle LXIX Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 That moment you realize you are doing for free (support) what got your foot into the computer field in the first place. That moment you think if my boss knew how much time I wasted every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Eagle LXIX Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 [QUOTE=LimeyRon;43987]My god man! How old are you? :lol:[/QUOTE] Only between 40-50. I've just always been into computers. My younger days were spent importing warez and making loader screens for C= 64 games. Back then I used this nick without the LXIX. Those days so long ago, phreaking, BBS systems, d-dial (like IRC but without the internet). Ah, 300bps, don't miss that at all. Days on international calls just to download a title (hence phreaking). That moment when you realize you've abandoned more mods than completed due to cheat potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeyRon Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I have fond memories of they way things used to be, but I'm so glad it's all advanced now. 300bps? I thought my old 56k was bad! I remember when I first discovered internet porn as a kid and waiting ages for 1 picture to load :) Could have used 8mbps back then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Eagle LXIX Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 @LimeyRon - yeah, my first 2 modems were both 300bps. I remember feeling how awesome it was when 1200bps came down in price enough for us mortals to buy. [QUOTE=Ekk0;44222]That moment when someone walks in on your "Me time".[/QUOTE] Now that is embarrassing.

I get stressed it if takes more than 2 seconds for Google to load! :D I'm guessing that you only sent and received text back then, no images?

Clauticus Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 That moment when you feel proud because your graphics teacher has taught you with slow processor speeds in mind. We draw shapes directly to the video buffer with no floating point math and (almost) no multiplication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For immediate consumption, yes, text only. As I said though, I used to spend days downloading from over seas to import stuff.
