Ontopic: remember the time when it was übercool if you could say ‘I’ll send you a fax’. Wow! Only owning a Ferrari could earn you more cool points. It didn’t last long, though.

probly that i used to use windows vista (its not something i like to really admit to…)

100 items always seems too long, but most are actually really good! With a few exceptions like #92, since checks are still widely used even if Mastercard pretends otherwise.. and #83, whch is a bit silly because KFC has changed its name back and forth several times..

Here’s my top 10 things I can think of right now:

1. Making VHS school presentations by recording the video with my very analog videocamera, and the audio with my friends’ very analog but older videocamera.

2. Polaroids. They were never very good but we all pretended like they were.

3. Minidiscs being the future and then being forgotten in about a year.

4. The Sega CD game console that my cousins bragged about so much.

5. The first Sony Vaio computer that my dad bought, and the endless amounts of jokes that my friends did about it. “A Sony computer? Do you have a Sony deodorant too?”

6. Geocities. RIP.

7. Learning HTML before I knew much about computers themselves. I was like 12 so I spent hours writing down strings of code on paper, and then spent hours typing it to create a web page.

8. Typewriters. I liked the noise they made.
My grandpa was a writer. He wrote a column for 65 years and not once used a computer.

9. Playing computer games from DOS. Entering “dir” was just so exciting.

10. Xbox LAN parties before Xbox Live. Using “Steam” into was so lame and yet, so much more fun.

I have a 1600 sq ft room filled with OLD computer stuff, some of which I don’t even remember the function of. And that’s just in the last 25 years.
