I remember telling my friends I was going to buy a 1 Gig HDD for my computer. They all laughed about it being a waste of money because I'd never come close to needing that much storage.

I remember days with no internet.

Ya got that backwards. Internet is the dark ages

How? You are 22-25 according to your profile. I was crunching code on a 386 in 1994 ... and there was an Internet then.

I remember the days before calculators, let alone PCs lol.

Not sure I could use one now without some significant retraining, but we were even taught to use slide rules.

How many miles did you have to walk (in the snow) to return a book? Was it uphill both ways?

You mean back when it was NSFNet? Those were the good old days, before spam, before ads, before Eternal September.

Remember the joyous sound of a 300 baud modem finally connecting?

I remember rotary dial phones that were hard wired.

I call them "the good old days"

I think those days were better

Quite lovely actually.
