How old are you?

When you rummage through your drawers looking for an old hard drive with information, but find something even more antique...

My age has nothing to do with my maturity

Now you need a machine to run it on. Vladimir Putin has one.

85yo and still remember XP well.

WOW! Brings back memories. I still have blank DVDs on my desk. I guess I'm sentimental.

 

[blackice]

My first PC ran DOS, or rather the first PC that was my father’s that I remember. No disk left for that one.

 

[simmerskool]

Commodore 64, not the linux distro, the hardware, and IIRC I had something before that...

 

[Zero Knowledge]

Had a Commodore 64, Original NES, Original GameBoy with Mario Golf, Some variant of 80s PC that you could run games on by using commands. Oh boy I'm old.

Anyone remember Carmen San Diego? Fun times!

 

[ForgottenSeer 123960]

I'm MS-DOS old

 

[Shadowra]

I knew Windows 98SE, Windows ME, and the copies of Windows XP that you burned onto CD-R with Nero or Roxio
(and the early days of Ubuntu when I was still in middle school)

Yes, I remember. I still have Carmen Sandiego, Prince of Persia, Mortal Kombat, Lotus, etc. on my floppy disks and CDs.

Spoiler: Carmen Sandiego

I recall big event from windows 3.1 downloading windows 95 at midnight, and you also got a t-shirt. don't recall the baud rate

The first computer I used was a C64.
I wrote two programs in Basic to calculate time dilation as you approach the speed of light, and to search for large prime numbers.
But the slow calculation speed was impressive.
So I started using logarithmic scales.

I still have a slide rule that uses this principle, which you saw NASA engineers using in the movie "Apollo 13".

Yes, my daughter also used Windows and Xubuntu in middle school and high school.
Unfortunately, she had a lot of difficulty using Linux for the exercises she had to do at home.
I don't remember well if she was able to do all her exercises with Wine.

I played Pong when it first came out.
