ITT: /g/ in 2001
>not born yet
AOL CDs are fun to throw but I miss getting free floppy disks that I could overwrite and use for my own stuff
>>108736131I'm so tempted to buy this, bros. But I'm still worried that Apple could go bankrupt any time.
>>108736243they seem to sell a lot of iPods and Mac OS X isn’t slow as shit anymoreDisplay PDF doesn’t seem like a stupid idea anymorealthough I wish they’d stop generating PDFs for screenshots and use something sensible like PNG
>>108736243i wonder when they have time and money to add shift+delete behaviour in their os.
>>108736281to trash stuff?
>>108736338to delete something immediately skipping the trash
>>108736350oh, just mash command-backspace a bunch of times and then flush the trash with no confirmation dialog box with shift-option-command-backspace
Is it technologically feasible for me to create a fully detailed and accurate 3d model of this year's 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo from NASCAR using nothing but Softimage, Photoshop, a diecast, and reference photos?
wasn't aliveand original /g/ was....something else entirely
>>108736515those who know: :skull:
Just fucked my brothers face up because I used an AOL disk as a shuriken.
Goo goo ga ga
>>108736131How do I uninstall Realplayer, that shit keeps taking over my mp3 instead of Winamp
Where do I buy a full or upgrade version of Windows 2000 Professional?
GeForce3 or Radeon 8500 for my Lego Island 2 rig?
>>108736576GeForce 3 is baller if u can afford it
FUck the RIAA. Why do they keep fucking with Napster? where am I gonna go now? Shit just moved to new place. Holy fuck moms gone I plugged up the phone to the wall and theres a dial tone HOLY SHIT I can get INTERNET!>call mom, is there internet a 56k account, phone is on here. no. ill do it later.shit moms not home either... Oh WAIT. Thats RIGHT. I downloaded a 900 dialer 2 years ago and just deleted the shortcuts on it. I bet I can find the fucking dialers somehwere on her computer. HAHA. Yea. Ok if they find out, i can afford, 20 minutes at this cost. ..Ok 40 minutes.. Ok one hour, but thats it. lol
shti did you guys see the news this morning
>>108736131Playing Pokemon Crystal on the GBC, blissfully relaxed, just like today :)
I'm learning C to set up my webserver. Is K&R good enough?
>>108736522>omg internet radio is so cool. you can actually skip songs you don't like.(it's actually 28kbps low-passed to shit mp3)>a year later: holy shit this internet radio sounds amazing(it's actually 40kbps AAC SBR high-frequency trash sound)
Any one trying this new "Mozilla" browser? They say it will one day beat Internet Explorer.
>>108736516What happened in the original /g/?
>>108736131THEY HIT THE SECOND TOWER!!!!
>>108736852you outed yourself with this one. a hypothetical (non-jeet obviously) /g/er from that era was already on netscape. IE was born shit.
>>108736878A COMPAQ EVO N400C JUST HIT THE PENTAGON!
>>108736965A BATTERY HAS EXPLODED IN BUILDING 7
>>108737040A MAN HAS FALLEN INTO THE RIVER IN LEGO CITY!
He knew.
>>108737040APOLOGIZE
>>108736515This post just makes me imagine a Gen Alpha wanting to go back in time to experience the original 4chan. Using the MetaTimeVision™ they set the year to 2001 and see that google is around (comforting). But then they try and find 4chan and realize it's not there. They try and figure out if it had a different name (4ch, .net, etc), but no luck. Now they're stuck in the year 2001 with 200 Kb/s Internet speeds (assuming they were lucky and got broadband), no AI, no YouTube, and no idea of what to do.
>>108737042>A MAN HAS FALLEN INTO THE RIVER IN LEGO CITY!Breaking News: A Flying Porsche 911 has crashed into the WTC
>>108736131Poorfags will never understand the absolute joy of Sun workstations. This shit will last a lifetimeI can't believe people are actually trying to make cheap intel shit that has uptimes of like 4 hours before it crashes work. x86 will NEVER take the server market. Linux is a poor imitation of real UNIX and NT is an inside joke where everyone in on it has died. It's a dying platform anyway since Itanium will replace it soon. But who has time to wait for that? Why would you want shitty slow consumer electronics CPUs in your server? The value of internet companies only knows one direction: to the moon. Every dollar you spend on SPARC workstations and Solaris employee training will pay back a thousand fold.
>>108736224Those floppies were fucking garbage and made retards think that all floppies are unreliable
>>108736670None of the news sites will load, even with being on a T1 line. what happened?
>>108736131It truly is the year of the Linux desktop
Kazaa sucks, install Kazaa lite
>>108736919Netscape was fucking buggy
My friend knows a guy that has a home connection that downloads at 1MB/s. Fucking crazy.
>>108737787better than IE.i don't remember any particular bugs. but it's possible that they were simply eclipsed by the boringly slow and unreliable connections (and angry family members shouting about the busy landline, until we got a dedicated second line. that was all before ADSL became available in our area, of course).
>>108737774kazaa wasn't big yet if my memory serves me will.
>>108737899 (Me)*well
>>108736131Anybody got my pic of my desk in 2002 (close enough). I know one of you has it.
In 2001 /g/ would be a board on TOTSE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOTSEI was there and none of you zoomer newfags will ever truly experience the glory old internet.You will live eternal in a state of FOMO
>>108737519are you done jerking off to your retarded fantasies gramps? please stop cumming all over the thread
>>108738209Interesting, never heard of TOTSE. I'm just a few years too young (turning 30 this year). I am just old enough to have witnessed the death of the old internet. Never got to see it in the glory days.
>>108738228I don’t have to jerk off. Too satisfied from cumming in your mom, aunt, and sister
>>108738242Yep and unfortunately due to internal drama, a lot of TOTSE is lost media. It didn’t get backed up and the owners would panic and just delete shit because they had a paranoid dream about getting arrested by the ATF because they had machine gun and bomb making TXT files
90% of millennials who discovered TOTSE sid it while searching for the Anarchists Cookbook on altavista in 199X
check out my new case guys!I got these awesoem cold cathod lights, they really show things off!
>>108738209>omg you wouldn't believe how edgy was our forumi bet it was all copied from news groups, just like how most shit here is copied from xitter.i was online at the time btw. never heard of your edgy forum. and not having whatever FOMO you're imagining anyone would have.
>>108738404>I never heard ofOpinion discarded
>>108736131>internetjeet
i'm considering making a bong out of a discarded mac se. Is this a good idea? my favorite band is shpongle, btw...
>>108738646>omg our forum had anarchist textsmeanwhile, actual adults were checking out literal terrorist manuals uploaded from pakistan/iraq to japanese upload sites

I sure love making my website look the same across IE6, Netscape, Opera and Mozilla.Flexbox? Grid? What are you talking about? Did you just hit your head or something? We use iframes and tables for the site's layout, of course.
>>108739885(talking from hazy memory and own experiences)widespread torrent (and DC) usage was two generations later. after audiogalaxy we had WinMX (especially for MP3s) and other similar(ish) networks peaking like gnutella (limewire), ed2k (eMule), Kazaa, ...etc. the periods of peaks were sometimes short and interleaving of course.
>>108739885for me its azureus and mininova
Just switched from Napster to Kazaa after my mom read in the paper Napster was a dangerous program. Still have to explain that phone bill though. Hopefully we'll get DSL soon.
Bros, I only need to sell my car to afford this.Worth it?

>>108736919Pretty sure both are considered great back in the day.
>>108742155it’s kind of weird that a floppy disk is the save button because most saving is to a hard drive these days, but what’re ya gonna do?

>>108736131Did people actually see planes in person in NYC hit the towers on 9/11 or was that added into the footage on TV?

what in the fuck is this teletubby fisher-price bullshit?

No thanks, I'm sticking with Windows 2000

>>108744357Those were pre-recordings I believe. I would need to know a person who saw it in person.
>>108747161>2001what is this Royale you're talking about? (looks like ass tbqh)
>>108747192Sorry, my time machine was a bit off.

*trying not to get in the way of the wireless receiver I have duct tapped to the ceiling of the doorway that reaches the exact maximum distance to the router at 7kbps ADSL if I'm lucky and its not raining*
>>108747176dumb retard. there was already live news coverage (with cameras) of the first hit (still thought of as a potential accident) when the second hit happened. so people literally saw the second hit (specifically) live on tv.it was a glorious moment. my then 15 year old self cheered loudly from the other side of the world, despite the fact that more than half of my extended family living in the tri-state back then.
>>108747361>carte sans fil xboxis that seriously just "card without wires xbox"
>>108747512we were watching the coverage of the first plane and saw the secondit was weird, class full of teenagers and nobody was laughing or joking about itit was a weird day
/g/d sucks
>>108747361i remember getting my ps2 online once by hooking it up to a laptop, bridging it to it's wifi adapter, which was in an ad-hoc network to a usb adapter on my bedroom pc, which was bridged to a dial up modemit was slow as fuck
>>108747536Was equally as weird living in Germany. When the first plane hit in the middle of the day a good chunk of all TV stations had already switched to live feeds. I saw the second plane hit live on air and I don't think there were any channels left broadcasting anything but NY after that. You just had barely enough time to think "wow that's a fucked up accident" before the second plane cut that thought very fucking short.
>>108736131there would be /g/eocities generals and webrin/g/s and I'm all for it
>>108744023
I want to buy some new components /g/uys, but can I trust this Newegg website? I can get everything I want at my local shop, but with Newegg I can save money on tax and shipping. Is it worth the risk by ordering online?
Is it worth upgrading to Windows XP if I am currently using Windows 98? I heard XP crashes far less and is built using the new NT kernel that the corporate world runs on, but I'm afraid that many of my DOS games will no longer work.Also glad that Microsoft is putting effort into making their products look good, the iMac has started a good trend.
I want to buy my son a console for his birthday, but I need something that's anti-Nintendo and anti-PC gaming.
>>108742724No, because it's not x86. You might get Mac OS to run on GameCube, though, because that has a PowerPC processor
>>108748177my history teacher has been buying books on amazon.com for several years nowjust make sure your browser has 128-bit encryption, not the 40-bit safe-for-export version
>>108748509Okay, thanks fren. I'm using the latest version of Netscape Navigator and it seems to have support for 128-bit encryption. The new eCommerce digital economy is exciting.
>>108736131Yahoo chat is so much fun. The best pickup line is "a/s/l?"
>>108748187na, XP isn't worth it unless you need >512M ram for some reason. 98SE has more drivers, supports more software, no software made today requires XP, and XP is a total resource hog (uses like 4x more ram and requires 6x more hdd space)also doesn't support dos games at all. i'd wait until you actually need it for something
>>108748377someone actually just recently ported osx to the wii (the wii is basically just a slightly better gamecube), that could maybe be ported itself to gamecube but there's already very little ram on the wii and gc has even lesshttps://bryankeller.github.io/2026/04/08/porting-mac-os-x-nintendo-wii.htmlno it's not very useful, it's osx 10.0, with nearly no hardware peripherals supported, but it is a true port, not like some vm or look-alike
>>108748377>>108749027basically to stick with the thread theme, osx on the gamecube may actually work if anyone really wanted to do it, though the amount of ram it has would severely limit what you could use it for
>>108749027Weird monitor. Are you a time-traveler or something?
>>108748187>>108749010windows 2000 professional, NT kernel but not bloated like XP, can run DOS games
RIP Napster

>>108749889the new DV series are amazing; ordered a 500MHz graphite model myself. they got rid of the metal protector around the screen so you can look all the way in, which really shines with the lack of frost imho. Those half squareish looking things are FireWire, up to 300MB/s and it's going to completely replace USB in a few years.
>>108736131I'm visiting New York in September, very excited :)
>>108752322getting a little bit out of character, I lowkey loved how that one looked in that color scheme, and I've never been a mac guy, didn't had much money at the time, if not I might have given it a try.

rofl IE6 totally pwns Netscape. face it, Netscape's days are numbered, nobody's gonna use that bloated dinosaur when IE6 actually supports CSS properly and has way more features. and honestly who's complaining about it being bundled with Windows?? saves you the trouble of hunting down a browser yourself. Microsoft was right, consumers BENEFIT from having it pre-installed. Netscape had their chance. GG no re
/g/ didn't exist and I sure aren't going to larp as a fucking somethingawful goon

>>108736243whats apple? you mean macintosh?
>>108753878Apple Computer, Inc.
>>108753888i guess im the only one here old enough to remember people calling them macintosh ipods lol
lol you AMDrones are so blind. yeah your little Athlon runs hot as hell and crashes every 5 minutes, have fun with that. my P4 is rock solid and actually has a future, Intel isnt going anywhere. AMD is gonna be bankrupt in 2 years tops. oh and enjoy your cheap socket A motherboard lmao. Intel Inside means something, sorry your no-name chip doesnt have that. 1.8ghz stomps your overclocked space heater any day. n00bs
>>108736663emule or there's this thing called bittorrent but you need to do to a site to get the torrent file, I use lokitorrents
>>108736259yer gonna get .TIFs and yer gonna like it.
>>108753499IE:mac is even better and looks nice in Mac OS X's new Aqua interface, and the browser buttons can even change color to match your Mac model. So far, the Tasman rendering engine used in IE:mac is the only one that can pass the Acid1 test for full CSS1 support. It does make Netscape look like a relic from the last millennium and I don't think they'll be around much longer.
>>108746384no one should ever use iframes
Imagine downgrading to XPWhy the fuck would an OS need 128 MB of RAM to run smoothly?If this is the direction things are heading, I'll never switch from 98SE
So the guy who invented the Bloomberg Terminal, Mike Bloomberg, is running for mayor of New York City. It would be nice to have people in politics who know about technology. I know Bill Clinton did a photo-op in front of a computer but it was obviously staged since there wasn't even a keyboard. Bloomberg actually knows how to use technology. My wife's boyfriend works on Wall Street and he loves his Bloomberg Terminal. If you live in New York City, you should consider voting in the Republican primary on September 11, 2001 to show Bloomberg your support. Maybe even one day he'll be President of the United States.

anyone else excited for itanium
Any good Flashget alternatives?
There was no /g/ in 2001, nor was there 4chan. In 2001i was partying and fucking bitches for most of the year, then September came along the everything was shit. Everyone was too paranoid to party.
How da fuk do i run gta 3? Plz halp guyz:((
>>108757935On a ps2, duh. It's not out on PC yet gaylord
Bro check out my newgrounds animation, it's Mario but the mushrooms makes him high haha!
>>108755869>tfw I was passed out on the floor at a friend's house with a bunch of people after a huge house party and was awakened by a kick in the ribs and some random bitch yelling "WAKE THE FUCK UP WORLD WAR 3 IS ABOUT TO START! WE ARE BEING ATTACKED!" and I wake up just in time to see a replay of the first plane, then the second plane hits and I went "oh shit another one!" Then argued with this ham planet cunt for almost 5 mins that it was a second plane and not just another replay of the first until the news confirmed I was rightThen about 40ish mins later BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM... WE ALL FREAK THE MOTHER FUCK OUT... We were a few blocks from the Pentagon.
>>108757952Sorry:/ i cant afford a ps2 but i hope my parents buy me one for chrismas:D im 8 years old by da way, how old are you?
>>108757982I am currently inhabiting my 5 year old self. Frankly, I'm in disbelief that the time machine worked, but it only allows you to visit time periods that you were alive for. It seems that it needs a suitable host to put your consciousness into, and all the previous attempts with random strangers were complete non-starters. I'm currently using my father's IBM NetVista, but it's difficult to type on the keyboard. People from my time obsess over this thing, but it's a pain trying to use it with underdeveloped digits. The return-home relay device isn't operational, so it would seem that I am stuck here for the foreseeable future. I must have unknowingly wished upon a monkey's paw, as the more I think about the situation I'm in, the more I can envision its black, hairy finger curling into its palm. I neither get to enjoy the childlike wonder I experienced at this age nor can I enjoy the era as if I had been born 25 years prior. It truly is the worst of both worlds, and I'm not sure if I can take another 13 years of compulsory education. Not sure if I'll be able to convince my parents to buy certain stocks either.I have been informed by my mother that I have school in the morning, so I must end my message here. Anon out.
