Ya know, it’s funny. I have this very vague memory of them performing at a concert I was at. But I can’t for the life of me remember where I was, or who the main act was. But I did see Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. Not by choice mind you. But I know they weren’t at that show. I saw Whitney Houston. But I don’t think they were part of that show either. All the rest were 80’s rock/metal. So I am at a loss.

I’m flashing back to those first Chrome + Google ads where Google opened faster than some ball could drop etc …and that’s when I think high-speed Road Runner [broadband] was like 128K, running on my overclocked Athlon w/ 512 megs RAM. I’d put a YT link but that’s just a wormhole

Shit, you must have been rich. I was trolling bulletin board systems at a whopping 1200 bps on my Commodore 64. It was a lot more laid back kinda browsing. You dial the phone number to the “website” you wanted to visit. Go outside and play a game of basketball. Come back and navigate your first ad on the bbs. Go make a sammich. Then come back and read the ad which said… “hey guys!”, or some other mundane remark. I did find a couple bbs’s that were like craigslists back then. The local college bbs was kinda cool. But I think the most excited thing was getting a brand new pack of these…

Milli Vanilli was a German-French R&B duo from Munich. The group was founded by Frank Farian in 1988 and consisted of Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus. Their debut album, All or Nothing in Europe, reconfigured as Girl You Know It’s True in the United States, achieved international success and brought them a Grammy Award for Best New Artist on 21 February 1990.[2]
They became one of the most popular pop acts in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with millions of records sold. However, their success turned to infamy when it was discovered that Morvan and Pilatus did not sing any of the vocals on their music releases. They ended up returning their Grammy Award for Best New Artist.[3][4][5] They recorded a comeback album in 1998 titled Back and in Attack , but its release was cancelled after Rob Pilatus died at the age of 32.[6]

I’ve got a meeting with the guy that invented the progress bar during the era of dialup internet. He’s going to be here in 2 hours and 13 minutes and 12 seconds.
Edit: Apparently he’s stuck in traffic and he’s going to be here in 6 hours 54 minutes.
Edit2: He’s making better progress than thought, he will be here in 12 minutes.
Edit3: Apparently it will now take him 5 days

Yes, I had that as my first storage device. Before that, it was like this…
Turn puter on.
Grab the puter magazine.
Find the section with game programs.
Enter thousands of lines of machine language.
Two days later, play game for 5 minutes.
Restart process.
Edit:
After a year of this, I detassled corn to buy my glorified Commodore cassette deck. The next year I detassled corn again to buy the floppy drive.

Either that or some syntax error you couldn’t possibly debug due to it being a printing error and you had no way to know it was POKE 3440 and not POKE 344 after that GOSUB 3020 that PEEK’ed 3440 because, well, it all just looked like numbers and nothing was explained!
Still, made us feel clever huh?
