What i miss

I miss the sound of the older hard drives.

I miss the sound of a dot matrix printer

I miss the sound of dial up.

I miss the sound of the modem handshake.

I miss the Turbo button.

I miss the sound of a floppy disk read/write.

I miss the days of the BBS.

I miss the ANSI graphics loading at 2400 baud.

I miss the excitement of opening a new game in a big box, only to have a few floppy disks or a CD in the box.

I miss the full page advertisements in magazines selling complete 386 or 486 systems for $1500+.

I miss drooling over the specs of the systems in those advertisements.


These are what I miss :(
