What a primitive time, I can't imagine not living inside a computer.

said EARLY 90s you jackass; Windows wasn't even widespread yet - the mighty Windows 95 was from '95, hence the name

IBM PCs with MSDOS/Windows were already quite dominant. Or do you think people played Wolfenstein 3D on C64's? LOL

The person in >>4 claimed that home computers were not widespread in the early 90s. All your comment does is help me disagree with that assertion. Also, IBM PCs were still expensive machines requiring purchase of cards and whatnot for graphics and sound, while the typical home computers were ready out of the box.

I don't care about whatever >>4 said. And IBM PC's weren't that expensive unless you were some nigger with a C64.
>>8 said EARLY 90s you jackass;
And C64s were popular in the EARLY 80s. You're both off by a fucking decade.

They were still in the house after we bought it in the mid 80s, silly ass. Your ordinary family wasn't into paying for dBase and IBM shit like that. And I forgot to mention the Amigas too.
I think a better question is: Life with no internet. I could definitely live without facebook, twitter, and all that garbage. I still communicate with people by writing letters (they all think that is weird.. I don't.) and I personally don't see a need for that shit. I could not live without a computer altogether though. I love programming, it's very therapeutic. Without programming or at least reading about computer science I'd probably be a murderer.
