Yeah sure is, but hopefully it’s the new wave of stuff and we’ll sort it out (it sure feels like this new shiny drug IMO), like with work from home and less bureaucracy I guess. Hope for. 😊

Yeah there were comics or some 180 pages catalogue, or even a “porny mag” (no sex, some titties or the one big flash) in the bunch of stuff.
People were all alone at almost all times so people did a bit of anything whenever they felt like it.
It was a crazy time compared to now in that manner, like you’d walk home and no one would worry if you weren’t like one or two hours late. Meeting up? Other is 1h late? Yeah there were probably some problem (it happened to all of us), or they decided to not come…
So I had my café where I went, you met those who made it :-)
Ha ha went off the rails there, cheers & good night from the EU!

Yeah gen-x here, at the beginning there were nothing.
Then I got this “home computer” with the blazing speed at 1MHz (yeah, 0.001GHz and quite unoptimized) bringing me wonders above comprehension.
And then it got faster, better, bigger, smaller, over and over and over … It felt crazy whaen anything doubled like speed, memory, discs, screen resolution, internet speed, …
I feel todays computers are more than enough (except for research basically) and that was a crazy arc, from nothing to basic completeness.
Well that’s how I feel it anyways 💖

That’s why I advocate against Spotify. At least as a sole way to listen to music (it’s maybe good at finding new stuff).
