I miss some of my tech from back then.

Early MP3 players, Discmans with clear on/off buttons and music that you owned and only vanished if you forgot the CD in your friend's stereo?

Video games with full hours long campaigns?

Video games that don't require 4 hour downloads on day 1?

Video games that don't vanish because the developer decided they don't want it on some online store anymore?

Movies that are there once you buy them and don't vanish (physical media) because some new company bought the copyright?

​

Computers with TURBO buttons?

Modem sounds?

come on, the 2000s were amazing.

I hate early MP3 players, my first held 256MB of storage, i know rip to FLAC and that would be too small for one album. I now have 256GB in my phone thanks to the MicroSD card slot and it holds all my music and I don't need to carry around a separate device.

Those things were so fun back then.
Every single one had its own software, own way of doing things. It was an adventure every time.
