@brockpierson Still have a copy of the first version laying around here somewhere. It really whipped the llama's ass.

Shoutout to everyone who used Winamp back in the day

@brockpierson I used it exclusively for years, particularly when it was called NCSA Mosaic.

Did you personally ever use Netscape Navigator?

@brockpierson Of course. The question is can a man and a woman be best friends without intimately wanting more? I say yes, depending on the situation.

Can a man and woman be best friends?

@brockpierson Yes, but I take a pill for that.

Have you ever used a floppy disk?

@brockpierson Zelda cause it's cooler but I would love Mario better.

If you could only pick one of these, which are you going with

@brockpierson WinRAR all the way.

You can only choose one extraction tool. Which one are you going with?

@Pinksockmonkey2 @brockpierson Take that!

This is who runs this account

@brockpierson 😬

TRUE OR FALSE: People have an irrational and unnecessary amount of hatred towards this man.

@Diacritical @akramcodez Same. TRS 80 Color in 1986. Just a blinking cursor. Had to learn to write a save and a load program to save anything to cassette. Really starting from the ground, up!

@akramcodez Only 49 years for me. First computer was a TRS-80 Model 1, though mine only had a cassette deck, not floppy drives (not until Model 16 for me).

how long have you been using computers?

@sidetrailsara Maybe 😏🔮🤣

@nrivers Ok, now I know you probably say 'goonies never say die' randomly too 🤣

Accurate depiction. Anyone else get the movie reference?

@brockpierson I had a 7 digit number! It was easy to memorize 📞

ICQ was released 30 years ago and really the first great instant messenger app. I spent so much time on this app. Did you?

@sidetrailsara @Dirkdr66 @brockpierson Same!

@Dirkdr66 @brockpierson I'll just randomly say it out loud and get strange looks. Glad I'm not the only one!

@brockpierson Brian Eno did the music for that Windows 95 startup.

Do you remember these sounds?

@brockpierson Love that Bob Lazar poster. 🛸👽

@brockpierson Mostly played with 30 lives cheat, but yes.

Contra from 1988 was a real classic. Did you play this?

@brockpierson Affirmative. But I'm also not currently posting.

Do you feel invisible on Twitter?

@brockpierson Only in training for prompting on video platforms.

Do you use AI for your tweets ever?

@brockpierson 1997 - it was my first attempt at compressing audio. I had all of these huge .wav files and turned them into tiny, shitty sounding .ra files. It was glorious!

You can only engage on this post if you are older than RealPlayer (it was released 31 years ago)

@brockpierson aand done.

@brockpierson Stealing this for Sora.

it's Friday night (in 1999)
