My first porn was on floppy disk
There's something poetic about using a floppy disk to get hard
I wonder if they could now make floppy disks with the same form factor but modern tech
Like this?
Haha, that's cool
I thought it was gonna be a USB drive but this works too
If you put a small, double sided optical disk inside, you could probably get a few hundred gigs in there, maybe even up to a terrabyte or three. If you put flash storage, you could fit a few dozen terrabytes. Hell, you could build that yourself if you just bought a bunch of microsd cards and soldered the contacts into a different form factor
My first porn was probably NNTP (newsgroups) before I even had the actual WWW. Had to learn how to stitch images together from multiple posts in the early-mid '90s.
4chan... I rolled the fucking dice and lost I guess.
UUE decoding!
Forté Agent was a blessing
I thought the name sounded super familiar, but I had to look it up. My dad was into BBS and CompuServ in the '80s. He eventually got AOL, which is where I got started with NNTP. I really need to get his history on these things. I know that, when I was super young in the early '80s when they divorced, he was often spending a lot of time online. I'd really like to know more about that era as my memories are scattered and fractured.
3.5", 5.25" or the monster 8" is the question...
I downloaded my first porn from Kazaa, over dial-up.
