Nostalgia !

[bubusam13]

Post anything, past tech, non-tech, ads, movies, landscapes etc, that your are nostalgic about.

I made bliss my Windows 11 wallpaper today.

 

[Desmond]

Wow. Is this available in hi-res somewhere?

Edit: The story behind it:

 

[bubusam13]

Yes, its available, but seems was using tor yesterday while downloading it. History is missing.

Anyone remembers or used these dancing girls in Win XP

 

[Zangetsu]

That was the default wallpaper on Widows XP when I bought my HCL PIV PC

^^Ya I installed that App for dancing girls. But I had 128MB RAM in PC and it was lagging so uninstalled it.

 

[bubusam13]

I was the only one in my classroom with 512MB RAM PC and an also with a 512 MB USB stick.

P.S: I have no intention of making this my own nostalgia sharing thread . Other members can share too.

More than the XP wallpaper, it is the Lock Screen that gives me nostalgia. Also reminds me of that amazing XP review that came in Digit magazine. That same year, we had the Athlon XP review. What an year that was for tech.

Don't get me started with Nostalgia. I was on PC (of some relative) which rocked Windows 98, on Pentium 3 PC, with probably 128 GB RAM.
I used to enjoy PCs more than I do now.

I dont even remember what OS it is but we used boot floppy disk to get the PC started. Started with LOGO and BASIC language. The first GUI OS I remember is windows 95. I miss those startup sounds.



P.S. I was searching for a color CRT monitor. These flat screens are getting boring.

MS-DOS. In my school days when we were introduced to PC for the first time. My friend use to bring games in computer lab in floppy drive.
Dave, Aladdin etc. on a floppy drive.

On PC
I dont like to be dependant on internet all the time

Do we really need DosBox? The games run well in Compatibility mode.

Not DOS games though. Most of them don't ever since Windows 2000 removed DOS mode.

Do they still work ? Floppy disk are notorious for getting damaged easily due to magnetic and other forces.

Here's a different kind of nostalgia:

Personally I think Casino Royale's gun barrel sequence was the best of all.
