I'm an old people
 
Hey, those people are in my age group!

How many of you young-uns can work with DOS, batch files, floppy disks, or remember when entire games could fit within 1 Meg of disk space, including the graphics?

Do you know the difference between a directory and a folder?

Do you know what a root directory is?

What generation invented what you have today? :rock:

Heh my grandmother would have something to say about that. She is quite proficient and mostly self taught, and in her 80s. She uses it a lot to play bridge and other card games online, and to chat and stuff.

One meg of what?
My first computer was a C64 wtih a whopping 64k ram (minus the operating system) and the games fitted usually on a 128kb 5 1/4 inch disk. There was no hard drive. I even still had a "Datasette" (well that's the German term, it's actually a cassette player), though I don't recall ever using it.
1 Meg of disc space:nope:, that would have been pure awesomeness.

I'm feeling so old now.:wah:

I can use those all ad know what everything you have listed means. Also can do some programming in BASIC, Pascal and Turbo Pascal.
Had a 32mhz 386 (of course with turbo button) since 92, was 6 back then. Grew up ****ing around with computers.

Umm, I'm not too good with computers, but I can start and drive a Model-T Ford. :sunny:

my first computer was a Texas Instruments TI-99, followed by an IBM XT clone. I also remember the original pong consoles from the 70's :DL
