Good ol days when my 56K connected at 32,800bps. On a good day I'd get 38K, then I download one of my favorite tune on Napster and it only took 20 minutes.

But even then I was versed in the computers, BBS was the real shit.

I used to download full length movies and porn via 33.6 and 56k dial up. Luckily we had a separate line for internets and faxes.

Also had a program that would pause downloads and resume when I lost dial up connection.

When I went to college and had broadband connection for the first time, I was like

I had the old old tape walkman that still had the old sony logo the little orange dots...then i got sophisticated as fk with the yellow sport locking one...that one was fkng awesome...that thing was still working when I retired it.

BBS sucked dick..
Half the time a whole list was offline. Most comms lists died after 92, which would have made you 4? 56K.. mang you had it good. I looked after my neighbors house for a few weeks while he was on vacation. He had a 56k connection.. forearm strength got real strong then.

Any of you guys need a house sitter?

It's not like it connected at 56K though, shit day 28K...

BBS was still strong here in mid 90ies prior to Internet. Hundreds of boards, and there was a popular one, Juxtaposition, where the sysop had a list of active ones updated. That's even where I started "English" per se.

Remember when DOOM first came out..
Used to get so stressed out..
We upgraded the compaq.. I think it was a 433.. can't remember. Anyways.. installed a soundblaster card for DOOM and joystick card as well.
I eventually fried that computer because I didn't screw in the card slot when I replaced the game card. It fell off onto the board ($2k to replace, back then). Toast.
That was my last computer until the POS VAIO. Yay typewriter.

Haha some of that shit too old. The first brand new computer my dad bought was a Pentium 3 500Mhz. It came with Windows ME. Holy fuck that was lame, moving from 98 SE to ME. Dad ended up going back to the store so often over the course of like a year they gave him a Pentium 4 1.5Ghz with XP on it.

Prior to that we had a used HP Pentium 2 400Mhz and damn it was better than the P3. That was pretty much one of my fav computers as a kid.

I considered myself very good at Starcraft...until I got cocky enough to go against someone in Korea.

Boy, did I get a taste of humble kimchi.



But, generally, if I was playing against local people and etc. and I wanted to give them a sound beating, I'd use the Zerg. Even after they were "nerfed" (sorta) for Brood Wars, I still thought they were arguably the best species to use.

aren't you speaking the truth about the Koreans.
When the Zerg got nerfed for Brood Wars half my friends didn't know how to play anymore... Fuck that zergling rush anyway.
