IIRC you could download a max of around 20MB per hour on a 56k modem. The average song file at the time was around 3MB (128kbps?) so a song would take around 10 minutes to download.

WAP porn over GPRS. on a 128x128 display with 4000 colors.

Yeah, so I do remember it right, one song taking 10-15minutes. Then on ISDN it would take me about 45mins to an hour to download an mp3 album of 128kbps music.

If you cleaned of all that disgusting dick cheese maybe you fat wife would still suck your cock you disgusting bigot

literally me

My modem was 56k, sure, but my ISP and phone lines could only handle 32k or 36k. My friend who lived out in the country only got 16k or 18k speeds. We'd do a direct dial modem to modem connection and play Command and Conquer: Red Alert back then and the game would run so god damn slow because of his shitty internet speeds.

Sadly, this is nearly accurate. They would have to watch 60 youtube videos about it instead of looking in a book.

>accidentally

I blew my first load on an image I downloaded using GPRS from my Sony Ericson phone.

I also bought those strip poker games.

Looking at images instead of video was one of the main contributors to my fetishes. Good times

Also first phones with MMS. I paid 25 cents for each incoming MMS. Asking for a nude pussy shot was worth it

This.

his mom is cute

Floppies getting corrupted... My dad's first digital camera was a Sony Mavica that used 3.5" floppy disks to record / store the pictures. He has 100's of floppies boxed up in his office with pictures from the late 90's / early 00's, going through them now it seems like about 20% are "corrupted" and can't be read anymore.

fpbp

>My dad's first digital camera was a Sony Mavica that used 3.5" floppy disks to record / store the pictures
why the FUCK did the manufacturer do that? Even putting a laptop HDD in the camera would have been less risk, not to mention the less weight etc.

All OSs plus most important programs (MS Office, Adobe Photoshop and so on) and also popular games for good measure.

That's what people used to call it before they all realized that a "wifi cable" doesn't exist. It's from a time where WiFi = ethernet, mobile data, Bluetooth, fuckin TV signals.

Basically it is how we did Copyright Infringement before the internet.

It was pretty convenient to just eject the floppy from your camera and plug it into literally any computer to access the photos without needing any extra cords / cables and special drivers or software. The camera even had a "clone disk" function where you could copy all the information from one 3.5" floppy into the camera's internal memory and then insert a new floppy and write the stored information to it. It was handy at family gatherings where you could give everyone a floppy of the pictures you took because the internet was too fucking slow to send pictures via email.

Windows 3.1 and DOS

Or how about people putting the floppy on their monitor who end up destroying it?

sharing ringtones through Bluetooth at school

Also, you have to realize that at the time, the average laptop HDD didn't have over 100MB of storage. Yes, that's correct, MB not GB.
