lolwut, why are the components bigger than the CPU, and where is the CPU?

OP Here, found my desktop.
Date says 10/3/07

nobody cares

Protip faggots this isnt a blog

>>18814878
CS2, that's old.

>>18814919
yes! haha
>>18814909
man, how can anyone not care? doesn't anyone stores their desktop screenshots?

More nostalgia pictures.
I guess this thread just became internet nostalgia overall thread

From 28 December 2009, was my first laptop. I miss that thing.

>>18814988
>San andreas
>mcafee
>windows vista
hell yeah! I remember the feeling of having those gadgets to the right, that was some intense shit.

I had some from 06 but I lost them all when I reformatted and installed Windows 7. My oldest one now is from the end of 2010.

>>18814988
>Disturbed

You are a faggot of colossal proportions.

I cry like a bitch whenever I find old screencaps/desktops with an msn conversation on the taskbar between me and my ex girlfriend.

[spoiler]she's dead[/spoiler]

>That feel when you always deleted desktop screenshots and now you feel left out
;_;

fucking attentionwhoring youngfags

>>18815104
ah why the fuck do I keep thinking i'm on /v/

>>18815088
I don't listen to Disturbed anymore.

OP here.
From a battlestation thread 7/22/06

Here's an XP shot from 2007. Oh god I don't remember using IMVU.

7-16-2007

Google video beta, fighting against the current youtube at the time. - 2006

How old are you?

FEAR MY RICE

Those bars reserved screen space, btw.

>>18815283
internet years are obviously longer than human years

>>18815078 here
Found one from Sept. 08 on my old deviantart account. Pretty nice desktop, but looking at some of the other shit I posted on there is downright painful.

>>18815189
Slightly newer one
9-1-2007

Why the fuck did I have two docks?

>>18815318
That's not even old in internet years. You need to be in 2006 to matter.

It's a new-ish picture, but I've had that install of Windows 95 for about two years longer.

>>18815347
see this
>>18815217
i'm 21 btw

I save a screenshot of my desktop everytime I change the wallpaper, which is 1-3 months time. It shows what games I was playing/programs using, what I was generally into etc.
Feels nostalgic when I go through them.

Here's an old one, but it is not for the faint heart...

>>18815337

>vista
>evaluation copy

What did you think of it at the time?

>>18815337
LOL i used to have those docks too. They were awesome at the time...well, they are still pretty sweet and useful.

>>18815381
>cuteFTP 7 professional

I have a screenshot from 4chan from mid 2006 or so... should I post that?

>>18815443
yes sir

>>18815337

NOSTALGIA? SCREENSHOTS FROM A FEW FUCKING YEARS AGO? WHAT?

/g/ - Teenagers

I don't have any old screenshots. By old I mean pre-2000.

>>18815387
That's XP. I put the build tag on the wallpaper to make it look like I had Vista with a beta version of SP1.

I wanted to use Vista but the drivers for my 6200 gt made it BSOD every 10 minutes.

Oh god my first Hackintosh from 08-01-08. Is Misa Campo still around?

>AMV Hell 3
awesome shit

Some random shit from last year, god knows what I was doing.

>>18815466
It's a .png of a jpeg, just so you know

>>18815481
4chan was launched in 2003 you troll

>>18815511
The tech-recipes link is a string you enter into google so it searches indexes of mp3s

Used it at school sometimes.

>>18815502
Sure is stable CPU lol

>>18815481

This.

It's highly indicative of /g/'s general quality when there's a desktop nostalgia thread with people who still stuffed their desktops with taskbars just three years ago.

>>18815495
He put the image of a woman on his Mac ironically.

>>18815553
It's a PC. That's why I said Hackintosh.

>>18815481
It might feel weird, but remember how fast computers evolve?
As everything ages faster, nostalgia comes sooner.

>>18815535
AMD bro, the comp itself was 600 bucks. lol

I swear I don't have brain problems.

>>18815217
Fuck. Remember buffering "The pwned life" on that. Bf2 machinima thing. Oh I had so much fun. I think that's the first time I put out a statement on the internet for everyone to see. Made an account and posted a comment saying I really enjoyed their movie.

Was like 13 at the time.

They were all 'deleted', because the laptop I used to use was ran over by a car.

>>18815891
>The pwned life
apparently, it's still there.

>>18815896
I'm one of those who disagree about windows crashing. For me it just seems that way because I use so many applications on it, and usually it's a fault within them that causes a problem.

Windows itself has never really "broke" for me. Except when I do stuff I really shouldn't be doing.

>>18815926
They removed the comments section? Was hoping to find my post again. :(
But I posted on the 1hr (30 minutes?) version anyway

>>18815950
>I use so many applications on it, and usually it's a fault within them that causes a problem.
>Except when I do stuff I really shouldn't be doing.
So...Fun but prone to crashing?

>>18815950
The problem is, it's an operating system for personal computers. The system is supposed to be your oyster, there is nothing that you "shouldn't be doing" besides deleting system files. It's a fucking $200 piece of a software, it shouldn't ever crash, it's supposed to have you covered.

the oldest one I have. Back before I used Linux

>inb4 shoop

>That feel when you regularly clean up your files and don't have anything for his thread

>DEARGODWHY

This is from 2007, the date I do not know.

Thank you /g/...for smacking some sense into me....

>>18816034
>netscape

I would still have some screenshots from 2000 had geocities not fucking deleted everything

I remember the threads in /g/ were all about directx vs open gl

OH GODS this is so embarrassing...

>>18816034
I wish I could go back in time and record 4chan from the very beginning.

It's like a new chapter on humanity and the most history I have of it is server changes and shit from 03-2008.

nvidia and centrino :3

Another Desktop from 2007 when I tried to "clean up" my desktop.

>>18816123
aren't there websites that store websites every years or so?

This is one is either from December 2007 or Jan 2008.

>had some from 2002 I posted on a forum
>forum is gone

Why ;_;

>>18816165
Yes, but 4chan is banned in most of them.

>>18816165
Well according to the wayback machine, 4chan has a robots.txt that forbids indexing or w/e

4chan won't even be remember 30-50 years from now, despite it strongly influencing an entire generation, with the possibility of purely affecting argument and the perception of truth for the rest of time.

Instead we get shit like Plato who were ass-backwards reasoners yet remembered for >2000 years. Fuck you humanity.

This one is from Summer 2008. I'm just gonna go ahead and keep posting Desktops all the way from the present.

Why the fuck I had 800x600 resolution, though, I will never know

>>18816216
On 1024x768 your 15-17" monitor only did 60hz.

Not me, but check the filename

>>18816113
Ok, I can recall that screenshot was taken somewhere between 2002 and 2003

>>18816229

Yeah, I was using a Black Dell CRT back then.

This one is probably from late Summer 2008 as well. Downgraded to XP after I had a rage fit over Vista

battlestation from 2009
I don't have any old desktops or any older battlestations saved ;_;

>>18816113

>>18816288
k-on is not that old...but okay

Aw shit nigga, I got a battle station picture from December of 2008. I had upgraded to a flat screen panel thanks to a friend getting me it for Christmas.

In fact, I still have that monitor in my current battle station as a third monitor.

I miss that desk, though ;_;

>>18816263
Wow, you weaboo anime faggots must be the biggest fucking losers in the world.

>>18816263
Here mine battlestation, from 2009 too.

>>18816332
HAMMERTIME!

>>18816263
I remember you

and this
>>18815896

I used to post here during the Sparky4 and tripfriends saga ;_; Kuma and Neko have since left Sparky4's IRC for some reason.

Please tell me people still say 1.7 and woodan screws

>>18816407
That was only a year ago, welcome to 4chan.

>>18816427
Okay.

Confirmed Americans

Aw shit, found another battlestation from July of 2009 I believe.

>>18816755
lol wtf

so much nostalgia

>>18816559
You don't even know how fucked up it is to look at your dick and know that you've been mutilated in the name of religion for the rest of your life. It's pinkish like scar tissue near the top, it's really fucked up. American here, we should stop this primitive shit.

>>18816793
>mfw I finally understood circumcision is to keep people from masturbating because of religion

This is the oldest that I could find quickly.

>>18816766

Twas' a shitty battle station, but it got the job done. I'm just looking at various desktops/battlestation pictures up until now.

So, from this point on, there is no more older pictures I can find. This is from July 17th of last year before I started to come to the realization my computer was a piece of shit and I needed to get with the times.

>>18816840
It was used by Jewish peoples to stop the sand from getting in there

>>18816793
most Americans don't even do it out of religion

Major reasons:

1) "Doctors do it, so it must be medicine!"
2) People can't stand their child having someone they're not used to.
3) Cutting their child's penis validates everything they heard about cut penises their whole life.

Oldest one I could find.

Upgraded to Windows 7, but still using shitty pre-built. Started actually browsing /g/ around June of last year now that I think about it. I've been on /g/ before that, but had been avoiding it for a few years since I knew my computer was shit.

>>18816983

I miss BRS being on so many desktops. I'm somewhat in the same situation as you browsing wise though.

Holy shit it's Chad. He couldn't settle on a tripcode.

One of the last few wallpapers of my first computer before I ordered the parts needed to build a new one. ;_;

>>18816983
What was in 09? Where does time go...?

That apartment was a shithole.

This thread... I don't even...

And this is a picture from my first Custom Built computer back this year

>>18817124
yes, lurk moar

Wow....I must have been smoking too damn much in December. This was my last battle station with my old pre-built.

And here is my desk after getting the new custom-built and doing some cleaning.

Ended up putting the old-prebuilt in the basement for nostaglia purposes.

>>18817315
did you just went to turn it on? lol

>>18817327

Nah, says it was taken at 1/26/2011 at 6:44 AM.

And then I ended up upgrading my battle station back in April.

2005-12.. this hurts

the real reason why everyone recommends /g/entoo

Less Blurry picture taken June 8th

Shit, it's been too long since I saw this. ;_;

The nostalgia...

>>18817492
mario forever? wtf lol

And finally, after a bunch of picutres starting from 2007, here is my current battle station and wallpaper today.

>dat fucking trip down memory lane

Went through ALOT of shit on my computer and anything I could find throughout the years, hence the gaps in my postings. Jesus christ.

And thank you, /g/, for making me lrn2computer. Waiting on another custom built computer to come this week and I have no clue what I'll do with this one.

My old laptop 4-18-09

>>18817597
sorry for the ignorance, but oh man what is that thing?

Oh god this is very embarrassing

>>18817684
If you saw people with super modified characters and colored names that's what they were using.

>>18817698
It should be more than plainly obvious to the naked eye, that that is a graphics card with both a PCI-E connector and an AGP one. You use one of the connectors at a time.

>>18817714

Oh, didn't play much online at that time, was still on ISDN back then ._.
But i do think i remember modified chars.

>>18817767
I still had Dial Up in 05, it's all I played at home, that and Diablo II. I played CS at LAN centers.

>>18817707
HA!

classic

>>18817707

you too...
