bitch I grew up with dial up. I scrolled endlessly through the hampster dance, half the jpegs broken. I spent an hour looking for and downloading a simple mp3. I waited my 54 minutes to continue watching a ropey stream of true blood with unsynced audio. I still use tumblr. you are like tiny baby

@AnthonyUplandpoetWatkins @stavvers Younger than you, but I kept some of the punch cards from school …

As to software delivery, I remember that coming on cartridges or disks. By boat.

earlier software. i remember how exciting it was to get a disc with ms-dos and be able to load the software right into the personal computer (many years later, of course, when i bought my first state of the art PC with a meg of ram and 10 megs of harddrive!

@AnthonyUplandpoetWatkins @jackyan @stavvers Saw my first USB stick in 2001. I forget the capacity, something like 64 MB? A couple of years later I was given one that had 128 MB and thought all my Christmases had come at once.
