I've run out of "Nostalgic" things to post, like images or videos. All I have left are memories of me and my little brother fucking around with it, which can't be posted on a Nigerian Foot Odor forum

I hope this thread lives on. This thread was a bit too self-reflective in nature for my tastes. Good Night all 5 of you who may or may not be lurking

The early 00s futuristic aesthetic is now looked upon the same way as the 70s and 80s retro-futurism. It's all a continuous vision of futures that never happened.
Jeremiah Morris

Why are they so low res? I remember most displays having higher res than this.
Kevin Taylor
>It's all a continuous vision of futures that never happened.
makes me wonder if the modern, more dingy aesthetic or the more sleek and geometric aesthetic will come out on top as what our technological future will be
Benjamin Jackson
sadly this isnt ironic

this is sad and pathetic

Because the papes themselves were 800x600. They just got scaled up to 1280x1024 (or whatever).

"So many people don't know (or don't remember) that Windows XP actually sucks. Everybody hated it from the moment it was released because, let's be
frank, it's just Windows 2000 with a kiddy UI on top, using more RAM, disk space, and CPU cycles, whilst providing the same functionality - and this was before
its invasive and failure-prone product activation, and the backward-compatibility issues of switching from DOS/9x to NT. It took two service packs, rock-
solid broadband Internet being standard, an absolutely massive NT compatibility drive, and OEMs starting to specifically key their drivers to only run on
XP, before it got real traction. Now 20 years and millions of XP baby ducks later, it's been retconned into awesomeness. It isn't - and it never was."

Before torrent existed if you were really serious about downloading something more than just mp3s and shitty 175mb avi cam rips you needed to know how to use this.
William Cooper
good riddance
Landon Parker
>shitty 175mb avi cam rips
Dude, that was hi-def back in the day.
Imagine downloading 40MB ASFs of Stargate SG-1 from Usenet over 56k dialup.
Brayden Kelly
No, it definitely wasn't hidef back then. I was downloading SVCDs and burning them to watch on my DVD player. The quality was far superior to that garbage. I tried explaining the process of downloading movies and burning them to CDs to my friends at school and it was way over their heads. I met 0 people IRL who had knowledge of this stuff. The only person I knew smart enough to download shit on IRC was a huge weeb and only cared about watching anime on his PC.
Jonathan Gray
I loved that tweaked Royale theme, was a toss-up between that and Classic as my favourite theme. Win10 UI is jank.

It's the images, friend, not the products. People are nostalgic about looks and what they evoke.
Logan Phillips
>liking technology on a technology board
what a bunch of losers
Ryder Davis
Yeah nobody is begging to go back to using any of this stuff. A lot of it still could be used today. It's obsolete. Viewing screenshots and pictures brings back memories, much the same as listening to a song from your childhood might. Hearing Good Charlotte might make me flash back to being 14 and bring back vivid memories but it's just as much of a corporate product as any of these things are. Also it's just as obsolete.
Jose Howard
I remember installing HL and CS off the "Half-Life: Generation" package DVDs then going to BarrysWorld to download HL 1.1.0.8 and CS 1.3 at 64 k/s on my lightning-speed 512K ADSL connection.
Angel Carter
My first high speed connection was 1.5mbit. Both the first one I ever experienced, my school's T1 line, and the cable modem I had at home. The upload on the cable modem was completely cucked, 128k. People always bitched when I traded files with them.

highly accurate. xp was always cancerous.
> poorly written
shut the fuck up. that wasn't the problem. and yes, there were still lots of DOS programs in use at that time, especially used commercially. microsoft fucked up the support for its own software. there's no getting around that, cuck. I still find businesses every so often (yes, in 2019) still using old DOS software running on modern machines (always running in some kind of emulator). have you ever considered suicide? it's your best option for being this retarded and computer illiterate.
Nathaniel Morris
Japan is a pristine late-90s time capsule.
Zachary Rogers
yeah, you wish, weeaboo. they just don't have any tolerance for bloated web designs and faggotry that people get away with in the west.
Lincoln Bell
>shut the fuck up. that wasn't the problem.
It quite literally was, you retarded zoomer nigger. The only DOS/16-bit Windows software that had problems on NT were ancient pieces of shitware, old games and other shitty hacks that accessed hardware in insecure ways not allowed on proper operating systems. It was either cut off compatibility with a few dying obsolete applications few people were using (while those who were, as you found, could just use emulators) or continue wallowing in the quagmire of notoriously unstable hacked up shit that was Windows 9x.
Brody Myers
>Office 6
That's Office NT 4.2 or 4.3, m80.
I'm going to assume you're trolling, or underage and pulling this shit out of your ass - because it's utterly impossible that you're this dumb without decapitating yourself with your phone or something.
Ethan Evans
Clippy on steroids
Bentley Harris
I'm pulling it from actual experience rather than fuzzy memories while I was shitting in diapers 20 years ago since I'm actually still using DOS, 9x and NT4 in 2019. I rarely run into compatibility problems with any properly written software on the latter, and yes, the former are fucking garbage and always were. Get over it.

Pleb opinion or bait. Either way go fuck yourself.
Chase Taylor
i didnt realize just how much nostalgia was in my screenshot til i looked back at it just now. i took it because at the time, it was the first presidential death i remember so it was kinda a big deal. we have:
a) that BT icon is the original bittorrent client, i think. put out by the guys who made the protocol?
b) oubliette, the best password manager until it was supplanted by keepass
c) winMX, cuz BT was still pretty damn new
d) AIM, AVG anti-virus, zone alarm firewall
e) shadowbane in the background, rammstein playing on winamp
f) oh and the news headlines features the killdozer guy, and the salesforce IPO
Jonathan Harris
Remember going on vcdquality to check if the rip you wanted to download was crap or not? I think I still have some svcd's lying around somewhere.
Benjamin Perry
holy shit I completely forgot about that, that and and nforce later
also
Angel Sanders
False. People liked WinXP when it was released because it was the first OS released by MS that didn't completely blow. WinNT/2k didn't have backwards compatibility. Win9x/me were pure shit, you were lucky if you didn't get a blue screen every 2 hours.
WinXP had the stability of WinNT married with the backwards compatibility of Win9x.

As far as looks and interface, it was peak comfy as far as operating systems go.
Before XP, it was utilitarian (albeit with it's details), after, it was all sleek and less vibrant.
