In the early 1980s, engineers over at the Dutch broadcasting organization Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS) had this fantastic idea of distributing computer programs over the radio

Everything about computers was slow then. There was a time when you could read text faster than modems could run text through them.

I wish I was born in 1970 so I could’ve experienced all the old technologies as well as the premium LSD of the 90’s. So many people used to tell me, “You would’ve done great int he 80’s,” I didn’t know what that meant until I was older and they’re right, I would’ve enjoyed myself and I would’ve been one of those nerdy fuckers. Then again, I’ve enjoyed myself throughout my life and I am a nerdy fucker lol.
The first OS I ever used was Windows 95 in 1998 at 6 years old. I didn’t grasp the inconvenience of dial-up until I was a little older but everything after Windows 2000 was fast.
