No, because my country was pretty much too small and poor to have brand-name sharpies, we just had felt pens with other names. Carioca I believe was the most prominent brand back then.
I still use CDs at work....
I am curious as to what you do?
I am not old enough that I was doing this myself but I am old enough that I remember my dad doing it both for himself as well as for me so I could load music onto my mp3 player. My dad had a huge shelf of CDs. Some bought and some burnt
I can still sorta remember as a kid, sitting down at a chunky old Dell PC running Windows XP, while my dad inserted a CD for some Go Diago go computer game.
We still have that old computer. We tried to throw Linux on it to see if we could use it for something but I think it's truly beyond saving.
Older actually. My first portable music format was 8track
I'm hooking two vhs players together to commit piracy old.
Was one of them ordered from germany so it didn't have the macrovision circuit in it?
No idea, it was the neighbour kid's VCR.
Kind of a joke few would get. For a period of time in the late 80's into the early 90's it was very hard to get a german made VCR. Odering them straight from there wasn't really a option. You could only get them at high cost unless you knew someone in the military over there. They would go to the local PX, buy one and ship it home. It was good way to make really good quality copies.
my dad rented movies and did this do we could watch them over and over. og pirate for me
This isn't very old lol. That computer could be from 2010 and CD's and Sharpies were used then. Also, LimeWire was functional until like late 2010.
I'm this old.
Wrong Dell.
Ah, the great beige era. I miss beige computers.
Sort of.
I miss clear plastic cases. That was the peak.
