Those few golden years when home computing was still relatively new & authority figures such as parent or teacher were easily impressed by your ability to do basic tasks like run a ms-dos command. They told you that you were a computer genius & the "next bill gates". Sound familiar?

Now Web 2.0 is here and your skills have no place in the brave new world.

AOL trial disks
Paying for web browsers
Geocities
DOS
Hours staring at 3D screen savers
Everything being made out of that plastic that turns piss yellow the second you brought it home for some reason
Palm pilots
Ergonomic keyboards

lol i remember getting a copy of "MSDOS for DUMMIES" at a booksale at the community center and teaching myself basic shit like how to make it run a program from a floppy or whatever. i felt like a fucking genius

this was caused by shitty plastics that used a fire retardent chemical. they can be restored by letting the plastics sit in hyrdrogen peroxide overnight.

oh dude i remember that fuckin shit

thank god that nonsense died out

Not being aware of an online community who also enjoy playing 3DMM so trying to make movies with out any mods or tools and saying "no that's Darth Vader, it's as close as I can get"

90s problems?

Kelly Kapowski isn't 18 yet.

That point when you stop letting your parents dress you and come up with your own fashion choices:

It's Saturday and the Keller Twins are having a party. Absolutely everybody's going to be there, but you can't go unless you can't go unless you get all your chores done first! And you've got to Get Ready! And you've got to get your mom's stamp of approval! And you've got to get it all done by 6:00 PM.

Not being able to beat Vectorman




Also:

Kurt Cobain kills himself

The girl in homeroom says it's because I'm not Jonathan Taylor Thomas and I never will be.

How about positive aspects of the 90s?






For sure people will say the same about Computer Guys come ten or fifteen years

I wouldn't watch those grown-up shows, I was watching the newest episode of Pokemon.

recipe for a winning TV show that people remember:

characters with memorable names:
Homer, Bart, Marge,... Kelso, Hyde, Fezz,... Erkel... The Fonz, Potsy... Kramer,... Chandler... Fraiser, Niles... Cartman, Chef,... Beavis & Butthead... Wally, The Beaver... Carlton... Sheldon... See you already know what shows these people are from. Nobody remembers characters Jeff and Mike.

stupid gags that no other show has done:
Simpsons - couch gags
70's show - the 360 camera pan when they're all stoned
Family Guy - cut-aways to pointless "jokes"
Family Matters - DID I DO THAT
South Park - main character dies every episode
There are probably more but I hate television

also you need a B- or C-list celebrities in the supporting cast
It doesn't really matter who, so long as people say, "Oh hey! I know them!" Their presence on the show has to feel like a special treat. That's the key. So don't write them into every episode and if possible get someone that's not in television or movies. Like Steve Balmer would definitely make guest appearances. He'll attract tech nerds to the show. Then get like, Tom from Blink 182. Bam! Millennials are watchin'.

Computer Guys is gonna be awesome

Loud Model M keyboards
Bent pins in cables/connectors
Driver CDs/floppies
Kazza
Trackball mice
PowerPC being shilled in everything
SCSI cables

what the fuck is Computer Guys
