I love that young people are interested in retro computers and stuff. History is super fascinating and important

But sometimes they say things and I just feel my bones turn to dust all at once

@CursedSilicon
I used my first PC in 2005ish and it was a dos machine

Despite this I have never used a floppy

@charlotte I used DOS (and Windows 3.1!) when it was the latest and greatest

Time hurts

@CursedSilicon
The first os I used when it was the latest and greatest was win7

@charlotte I've met folks who are nostalgic for Win7 as a "retro OS"

I had to sit down for a minute

@CursedSilicon
I'm more nostalgic towards winxp personally

@charlotte The things I would do to banish Windows XP from this world you have no idea

@CursedSilicon
Run eternalblue on cghmn

@CursedSilicon One time in vrchat I took my friend group to a world modeled after the "facing worlds" map from Unreal Tournament, and after chatting about the origin for a bit and insisting "its a classic" or somesuch, one of them dropped "You know that you are the only one in the room who existed at that time, right?"

@errant hhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHH
