@leyrer kaboooooom versenkt.
Da hat sich jemand eine ernsthafte Watschn eingefangen.
Ich hätte das damals mit ICQ mal machen sollen.

@Exilsarahl @leyrer für irc braucht man keine nummer, ich kann den erstkontakt ca 1989 also leider nicht beweisen

@Exilsarahl @leyrer

Dieses neumodische Zeug, wie ICQ war damals nichts für mich. Talk für 1:1 und für Gruppen IRC waren meine Chatsysteme.

@leyrer Never had an ICQ account. My social media was a CNet BBS polling news twice a day via UUCP.

@leyrer all those numbers do strike me as rather long, sadly i don’t really remember my UIN 🤷
Show threadbbbhltzMar 6

@leyrer I think mine was 104490937 but that's too long, isn't it?

Show threadbbbhltzMar 6
@stodarahodan @leyrer I was never cool but I did have a pre-microsoft hotmail account and my first computer used 5.25" floppies. Those were the days...

@bbbhltz @leyrer thats cool!
Show threadNaga (he/him)Mar 6

@bbbhltz @stodarahodan @leyrer Only because this thread is in large part about one-upping:

Audio cassettes for storage.

I mean, that was once I had a personal computer.

(Internet proper around 1985; other kinds of online connections before that.)

Show threadbbbhltzMar 6
@naga @stodarahodan @leyrer I had a computer with a tape drive that my high school gave my brother. Never used it haha.
Show threadArvid RequateMar 7
@naga VHS for recording audio from radio (via network), admittedly, that was probably more like late 90s IIRC. Got my "boot camp" the hard way, catching a boot sector virus on my elder brothers' dual boot 8086 (from swapping games at school). Read up everything about MBR and then had the utmost of luck removing the virus manually with a hex editor. Still thank my luck for that...

@reqa @naga as a child, I tried to make a boot sector virus (but it didn't work. afaik.)

@bbbhltz @stodarahodan @leyrer our first PC 80386 dx33 had both 3.5 and 5.25 and we were the talk of the neighbourhood with one of the first inkjet printers. I think it was the HP Deskjet 500

@casparvdburgh @stodarahodan @leyrer Oh I bet! That must have been amazing.
Show threadCaspar van der BurghMar 6
@bbbhltz @stodarahodan @leyrer it was very empowering. No dot matrix or daisy wheel limitations but seemingly infite variations of fonts, including Conic Sans. Pity that WordPerfect was not yet WYSIWYG, a couple of years later Word 6.0 unleashed my 'DTP' capabilities...

@casparvdburgh that bloody thing finally leaked all of it's ink on a wooden cupboard in my room, bloody hell it was a mess.
Show threadNotASnarkMar 10

@bbbhltz @stodarahodan @leyrer My first computer used cassette tapes. It was several years before we got a 5¼" floppy drive.

For my first game console, you got plastic screen overlays which you had to stick to your TV screen to provide the graphics.

@leyrer Kids, these days….
First contact to the net at 1988. If seen the glitter of so many services in their infancy….
Show threadPK2061Mar 6
@filid @leyrer
also I have been exposed to the Web for the first time in 1997 or 1998.
Sometimes it feels that we have seen more services die than the young kids know today.

@isotopp @leyrer ICQ war eh sauspät eigentlich, zumindest für uns Altherren hier..
Meinen IRC nick hab ich irgendwann in den 90ern mal auf WooShell festgelegt, davor war der eher so launenabhängig alle paar Monate mal anders.
Was "I have usernames older than you" angeht.. das älteste was ich noch im Kopf hab (und irgendwo auf ner Visitenkarte) is mein CompuServe Mailpath.. 100572.2042!cisvax, das war 1988-92, danach hamse auf SMTP umgestellt.
