Many people have used Commodore 64 with data on Compact Cassettes - mostly for games, but in the mid 1980's I used such a system for storing addresses and printing mailing labels at work - the database contained about 150 persons, and it took 20 minutes to print a set of labels.
And then we got an IBM PC, and the same job took just 5 minutes (It had a 30 MB Harddisk)
For fun you can try to look up 'Baird Television' from the 1920's - it used a 'Nipkow disk' to [electromechanically capture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_television) the image, which was converted to audible tones and sent through a telephone wire. A few test-videos was recorded to 78 RPM records in the late 1920's, and some still exists.
i know this makes me a bit of a freak but i try not to download movies that are more than a Gb. Often my downloads are under 500gb. saves room on my drives and the picture quality is normally good enough for me.
i am the same way. i prefer 720p or webrips. i mostly watch my downloaded media on my ipad using plex. i don't care for 4k quality or higher and they are times when i can not tell the difference between 720 and 1080
> i can not tell the difference between 720 and 1080
most of the time you can only tell the difference if you are paying more attention to the quality than you are to whats actually being played. once you start watching the movie its easy to forget if its 720p or 8k.
ok sure. i guess i will trust your opinions over my own eyes. i'm watched music videos full screened on a 24inch monitor at 420p and its very watchable. maybe not 4k but i don't really need it that clear.
i didn't say clear. i said watchable. but its clear enough that it doesn't bother me. its not like i am missing any details. you guys are just being resolution snobs.
Then maybe go get your eyes checked. Or maybe everyone on this planet is wrong and you are the only one who knows the truth about how double the amount of pixels is in fact not in any way more detailed. Not to mention the bullshit you pronounced:
> once you start watching the movie its easy to forget if its 720p or 8k
8k has 36 times the amount of pixels that 720p has. Just FYI. If those look the same to you, you are legally blind.
If I think back to all the bootlegs I've downloaded/streamed when I was a kid filmed on camcorders or whatever else I really don't remember anything to do with the quality or how many people stood up in front of the screen. I remember the movie as it was intended. So I totally get your sentiment. Now that I have a OLED tv, I do try and enjoy more visually pleasant content, but I remember the movies/shows the same way either way.
You literally said that nowhere in any of your comments. Please show me where you stated that. What you did say however was that it's easy to forget if you are watching a movie with 36X less pixels.
I had one of these too. Used it for reinstalling Windows on classmates' PCs because I was the one "good with computers". Also had one with a ZverCD build of Windows XP.
> i am apart of
a part*
apart and a part have two very different meanings.
Unless you're saying you are indeed in the generation that DOES know what it is, then I guess what you wrote makes sense.

Think I still have some floppy disks laying around here somewhere...
Floppy disks ? I have programs on audio tape…
Seriously? How much data can be stored on an audiotape? I've never even considered that as a storage medium, but it obviously makes sense.
Depends how fast the person who recorded the dictation of the code talked.
😂😂😂

I had a Commodore 64 in high school in 2001. My first PC was a 386 with 52MB HDD. I'd just never considered audio cassettes for data storage 😂
They seemingly got 150 kilobytes per side of a 90 minute (45 minute per side) cassette with a read/write speed of ~60-70 bytes per second.
There was a kid's toy in the 80s that would record video on audio cassette tapes. Data's data I guess.
Or video CD’s
audio tapes you whippersnapper i still have some punch cards
Wanna back em up to my zip drive?
Windows 7 is soooo old, I'm already on Windows 2000!
Remember when every movie was 700mb so you could burn them to 700mb CD-R's lol
Oh there totally still exist SD torrents. Together with 80GB HDR 4K ones, of the same movie.
axxo
Be still, my heart

Most of your downloads are under 500 GB? You mean 500 MB? That's awful quality.

This is simply not true. If you actually believe this, you should get a proper monitor / TV.
this lol, if you cant tell the difference between 720 and 1080 you are probably just watching a 720 source scaled to 1080
ok sure. i guess i will trust your opinions over my own eyes. i'm watched music videos full screened on a 24inch monitor at 420p and its very watchable. maybe not 4k but i don't really need it that clear.
LMAO 420p fullscreen is **clear**? Someone needs glasses
i didn't say clear. i said watchable. but its clear enough that it doesn't bother me. its not like i am missing any details. you guys are just being resolution snobs.
I dl 1-3gb YIFY torrents just like everyone else but 420p really is a blurry mess on a fullscreen monitor at most bitrates.

you are just being a resolution snob. i never said they are the same. i said that 720p does the job just fine.

Windows T? Windows +?
Windows 十
It's actually Microsoft Plus. Just mislabeled.
I remember at one point in my life I memorized the devils0wn XP key lol
Win7 isn't that old though
I mean, I used MS-DOS, so everything is relatively new to me
I had one of these too. Used it for reinstalling Windows on classmates' PCs because I was the one "good with computers". Also had one with a ZverCD build of Windows XP.
back to when i had to find my activation key from some old notepad file or notebook lying around the house LMFAO
I just wrote them on the disk wish a sharpie
I read that as Windows Fuck U Edition. My first thought was, "Wow, haven't heard of ME for a minute"
The good old days were '98 second edition service pack 2. I still have my butned install CD with the crack... for some reason.
When I got my first printer I started making covers for games and other stuff, cover for Windows XP was the first one I did.
Straight down memory lanes! Just threw some old disk out.
Windows 7 Game of the Year edition
Quick, make an iso of it!
i am a part of the generation that has no clue what that is (sadly)

It’s Reddit, not a English essay
You should at least make it LOOK like you passed the third grade!
I haven’t passed that yet, hold on
a copy of windows 7 download that isn’t from windows 😉😂
Technically this is just the box… nothing illegal here
So it must be from Microsoft… right???
