Oh, that reminds me.
I know we don't notice the tags as much now that they're at the top instead of the bottom, but sometimes you just know a quality thread tag when you see it.
...Was that uncommon? I totally did that. I put some random documents in the first few layers too sell the effect, too.
I kept mine in the subfolders of something other people wouldn't look at (some downloadable game I don't remember) but yep, same approach
Now I have a name for my debut album
All floppy disks were shared by the family, FAR riskier to put something on those since they held so little
This was more or less me, except it was my brother who found my browser history. I still remember the name of the porn website he called me out on visiting. (If you want to know, it was majormelons.com)
Could I get clarification for this acronym?
I'm not sure whether I should be bothered that it shares a name (well, 10/11 of one) with one of my favorite flavors of Mountain Dew.
Were you not inundated with free AOL discs? I kept everything on those until I learned I could save files directly to the hard drive. Music, games, pictures, fan fiction...
Oh, I mean I never saved anything at all. I'd have to re-find stuff every time. But I knew enough to clear the browsing history at least!
well that's what the browser image cache was for
I had forgotten that until you said it, but yes! There were a bunch of major .gov or .org sites that had porn .com equivalents.
I had a little tin box full of rewritten and refilled AOL disks; probably two dozen of them by the end of that era. A bunch with my own writing and files but a lot with porn...because you could only fit a few pictures on each one. My matryoshka of pornography was first video files too big to fit on a single disk, and then when I eventually got my own computer, I used it just in case someone else happened to want to use my machine. Nowadays, there's just the "Not Work Safe" directory sandwiched between folders of comic pdfs and emulators, because my laptop is mine alone and by the time Babywulf is able to find any of my porn...he'll knowingly be looking for it.
Hmm, I remember the CDs but not discs. And CD burners were way later.
I couldn't risk the 5-10min of downloading over and over again! Much faster to just have it in a folder/window. Also personally I usually just needed to look at something then close it, didn't need to keep it open or watch long videos.
Reminds me, where do modern day computers with Windows 10 keep temp internet files? Asking for a friend.
