Look at my new Nokia cellphone.

It's digital. :smug:

I'm going to Maine this weekend so please don't call me. My home region is southern NH, eastern MA and RI.

Bell Atlantic Mobile is cool.

E: I actually still have the same number from 1999. Holy poo poo.

E:F,B

I was gonna use that one too. Picking up a friend or family member meant meeting them at the gate after they deboard. Same with dropping off.

Now it's an awkward "welp enjoy that long rear end security line" and leaving.

I seriously miss the 90s. :(

The wait is an hour for non smoking or a table available now in smoking?

Cool. Smoking it is!

The Simpsons are REALLY starting to suck. Maybe it's time to end it and put Futurama on at 8 instead.

Why the gently caress would anyone want a cell phone? I can just call my friend on the house phone. Besides, I'll just see them tomorrow at school.

I definitely do miss life before smart phones.

Whoever is glued to their cell phone even though there is a real life human being trying to talk to them is a loving loser.

or under 30, same thing I guess

Yeah. Though, I will say having google maps when I'm lost is awesome. In 1999, I think there was only like mapquest or maybe yahoo maps you could print out. Sometimes it took you in the wrong direction.

Clearly, but the concept of leaving home and not being accessible or be able to access everything in your life. Making a trip by checking out a map or sure, printing out mapquest directions. Having a cellphone that lasted 3-4 days before needing a charge.

I remember more things I did when out in 99-03. Then I got a smartphone and now that everyone has one and the culture has turned into staring endlessly at your phone instead of acknowledging people sucks.

Worse when you see two people together looking at their phones instead of... You know. Talking. Losers.

Your posting is kinda like a terrorist attack. Your mom and I discuss this often.

1999 was 16 years ago

16 years before that was 1983

in 1999, people who were born in 1966 sat around talking about how crazy 1983 was. pac-man, and able archer, and reaganomics and so on.

hay gang i just got windows 98 and now i have to upgrade to windows 99. gently caress you bill gates you nerd fag. oh well i guess the computer clock is going to explode Ahhhhhhh1

I remember I had all the .cab files for Windows 98 in a setup folder. This way every couple of weeks when the OS would completely poo poo the bed, I'd reboot, type "setup" and let it all reinstall.

Windows 98 was such a piece of poo poo.
