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
>>108736663>where am I gonna go now?suprnova%2eorg, but you didn't get this from me ;-)
>>108736663>where am I gonna go now?audiogalaxy
>>108739612>>108739642It was isohunt for me.I still have an iso hunt Tshirt they were selling during a fund raiser
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?

>>108736670>Slept through most of the morning
>>108736224>floppy disksI think you mean save button
>>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?
>>108736131dis /prog/
>>108738209I have to admit TOTSE sounds pretty based. I kneel oldfag-sama
>>108736131Can I install windows XP instead of Linux on my PS2?

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