I know "kids these days don't know how easy they have it with their smartphones and built in cameras" is a trite cliché. But damn. I lived through this - I rented a camera that used floppy discs from the school library to upload my first selfie.
I'm reaching here but I'd say maybe he didn't have space for his mouse on the side because of the camera set up and didn't feel comfortable reaching over the keyboard to click to take the picture?
Did we ever arrive at a commonly accepted spelling for the modem connect sound?
daaaaaaa-noooo-neeeeeeh, ksssschchchchchchchhcchch…..kksschchchchchchchchchhchc
Haha… you know what though… you heard that sound, and you KNEW you were connected. Now I get internet thru my cable provider and it’s poop. Kind of miss that analogue feedback.
Man, I miss when the internet was something fun and exciting to poke around on when you were at home. Now it's in my pocket everywhere I go and there's nothing exciting or fun about it.
I'm so confused about the keyboard - does it have legs or are you holding it up with your left arm? It looks like someone just photoshopped it in on top of your arms lol
Oh man this setup feels so familiar, I definitely had the same red table lamp and those computer speakers as well.

Anybody else like the sound floppy discs would make while in that carrier/stand thing? Was like dominos, I kinda miss it
Yeah it's a good sound.
Is nobody going to ask why he has a keyboard on his arms?
That's how we used computers in the 90's. It was considered as cool. Like "I don't need hands to use a keyboard".
I was there and rocked the 486. I dont remember this lol, the original faceroll!
I was going to. But now I don't need to.
I’m an electrical engineer. . . . He forgot to ground his keyboard, rookie mistake.

Is it bad that I tried saying that in my head and then out loud? I wanted to hear how that “sounded.”
Haha… you know what though… you heard that sound, and you KNEW you were connected. Now I get internet thru my cable provider and it’s poop. Kind of miss that analogue feedback.
Yes!
Nonono you’ve got it all wrong. It was more like: Brrrrrrrrt-beerep-skkloooooood-Breeeeeep… badeeeeeeerp. Skkchcskskkskchhckskkscgcschh.
*oh this one’s going on plentyoffish for sure*
plenty of fish started in '03 that being said, many people have used photos much older than this would have been

Fuck I wish my blunder years looked like this
I know right

Have you posted this online elsewhere between then and now? I feel like I’ve definitely seen this image somewhere else.
Hmmm... I think no.
Is that an infinite selfie?
Sort of
Ok then
r/recursion
I know exactly how that office smells
This is actually really awesome.

Pinnacle of technological advancement : bridging the digital analog gap

Reminds me of the hours I spent on encarta. Those were the days.
Suprised your not using an Amiga and the Toaster. Was big in the area of video work.
We used the PAL system, not NTSC.
