I wondered why you didn't just google the meaning of the word like I would've done at that age, but then remembered that this was not a thing back in the days.

I wondered why you didn't just google the meaning of the word like I would've done at that age, but then remembered that this was not a thing back in the days.
Also reminds me of when I was stuck in Lego Star Wars and couldn't find the way to solve a level. I then searched for a write-up of said level. At that point I only understood German, but I was still extremely confused by the write-up. The reason was, that the German word for 'hatch' is 'Luke', and Luke Skywalker was a character who was present in that level. I was stuck because I didn't find that hatch and the write-up told me that I 'jump on the platform with Luke and activate a control panel with R2-D2 to make Luke appear so that people can go through the Luke' (very paraphrased, but I think the point comes across)

- 4ggr0 4y agoI'm too young to understand that reference :D My first OS was Windows XP and googling things was already pretty well established. Didn't know that Microsoft used to publish an encyclopedia, interesting!
- bennyp101 4y agoOoof, well I’ll go lie down for a bit I guess :) Edit: The best windows OS after 95 ;)

- 4ggr0 4y agoI'm tired as well so I understand ;) Windows XP was nice, yeah. Windows 7 as well, and I can tolerate Windows 10 for gaming. For everything else, the penguin does the job.
