What really makes me feel old is calling systems from 2005 retro :)
- hoistbypetard 2y agoYep! My family's first computer was 21 years old in 2005. (I remember scouring the classified ads in the newspaper each week with my dad in late 1987 to find the best computer deal we could. We wound up with an Apple //c from 1984.)
- lukan 2y agoThat got me as well. Retro is the 80s for me ..
- anonymousiam 2y agoMe too (70's and 80's). I've got a PDP11 clone from Obsolescence Guaranteed that I just love: https://obsolescence.dev/obsolescence-newsletter-dec-2024.html https://obsolescence.dev/obsolescence-newsletter-dec-2024.ht...
- JohnFen 2y ago2005 isn't retro. That's essentially yesterday. "Retro", to me anyway, measn any system from the 80s or earlier. Now excuse me, I need to go chase some whippersnappers off of my lawn.
- Cpoll 2y agoWas 80s stuff not "retro" in 2000? Because I remember feeling that it was.
- JohnFen 2y agoYes, it was, to a certain degree. The difference between machines in the 2000s and 1980s is much, much larger than the difference between machines now and machines in the 2000s, though, making the "retro" timeline nonlinear.
- markus_zhang 2y agoI kinda think everything before the century is retro. But I guess it's personal.
