  • Oh boy, sound blaster. As much of a pain getting everything to work back in the day was, I’m also nostalgic for it.

    Anyway, generational lines are always blurry. I always find myself identifying with things defined to be part of the generation before or after mine anyway. I would call myself a “90s kid”, being born in the 80s, but I count that as an older millennial.

    We got our first family computer when I was in grade school. It didn’t even have Windows, just DOS. So I first learned the command line. When we later got Windows 3.1, we didn’t have a mouse, so I learned to navigate the OS with keyboard only (to this day I have a preference for keyboard navigation). By the time I was in high school I knew how to code, build a computer from parts, etc. And started my life as a pirate with Napster.

    My sister is a younger millennial, born in the 90s. By the time she was actively using a computer I think it was probably on XP. She probably wouldn’t know what defragmenting is or how to format a drive. But she didn’t have to learn that stuff.

    As a millennial in general it seems we are the only generation who know how computers work as a rule. We had to help our grandparents and parents generation with every technical problem, and figured the kids of the future would surpass us. But now I have play the same tech support role for my kids generation, because they never learned that stuff either.








  • Sexual assaulters also have victims.

    I dont have proof of anything. But personally I am convinced that women like Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broaddrick had legitimate complaints against him, considering how easy he showed he can lie about such things (like when he denied anything with Monica and then admitted it later).

    I also believe the whole impeachment of Clinton was a political hitjob by the right, but I dont excuse assault because of that.
