I'm stuck in the "old" days. Anyone else?

Gala

I still use Windows XP. I still use "Winamp" with the classic skin. I still download MP3's to my PC instad of going to YouTube. I still use SMS instad of Facebook messaging. I still play 10+ year old games. I still feel the need to use a "dumb" phone, i hate smartphones. I still use a 7+ year old Pentium 4, the white ZIF socket. I still use SDR RAM. I still burn Audi CD's to use in my car.

I just cant change. Mates look at me like im retared.

Anyone else having these "problems"? :D

Cant blame you for anything you said here. I like Windows XP, I use winamp by my self, I find songs on youtube and than download it as an mp3. I use sms and facebook. I love dumb phones because of their battery and I have one on side, I always burn Cd's for car before long trip.

Nothing wrong with being stuck in the olden days. I don't want to use Facebook. Ever again. But my parents still force me to. As soon as I get home, I'm deleting my FB account. Never had a use for a smartphone. I'm rocking an overclocked 2600K. I use Ethernet because wireless is shit. Dell quick-release monitors masterrace.

Not all of them are like that, there're some modern ones :D For example my brother uses USB/phone instead of CD's in his car, but he still has 2-3 of them in case something goes wrong :D

Even my dad (who's 60 now) has moved on from XP. I think it's time to advance. There are better operating systems :P

I still get MP3's because I have to put them on my iPod somehow. I play 10 year old games too because, well, they're awesome! Let's face it most AAA games these days are 4 or 5 years old, and just gussied up every year.

I hate Facebook.

However, I have no idea how you still use a 7 year old computer. And I'd be lost without my smartphone. Love them.

I love winXP, but I love my 64-bit ness and 8GB of RAM <3

I will, however, find a use for my WinXP MCE copy. I love XP Media Center Edition so much it's bordering fetish territory.

I loved XP. I actually still use it on my old laptop that has XP from time to time for certain programs. I play 10+ year old games all the time. I had a "dumb" phone until about a year ago, still have it for backup. Essentially, some people consider me still having a "dumb" phone because it's not an iphone or galaxy phone. I also don't use facebook, and will not be persuaded into getting one.

Well, if you don't need anything more, then don't buy it :D But you'll seriously need it, since it'll have problems on FHD YT videos :)

 

And my father uses an even older one, some Dell :)

 

 

So Bosnia eh. Interesting :)

I hate smartphones, and got a windows 8 phone as a result (about as close to a dumb smart phone as you can get).

I think 99% of music made after the year 2000 is absolute shit.

I still mainly use either CD's or mp3's on my phone.

I really am not looking forward to the day when I have to move on from windows 7. (even though I like my windows 8 phone, I dislike the metro interface)

I refuse to acknowledge rap, RnB, and or hip hop as music.

I use facebook, and hate myself for it. I hate seeing all the happy couples on it, and happy people in general.

 

 

Now I shall return to my cave, and stare into the abyss and slip slowly into madness.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

Absolutely not. I'm broke as a joke. But I love hondas, up here in minnesota I could build a poor man's type R (b16 head GSR block) for ~$900 and drop it into a 4 door shell and have a fun little sleeper.
