Golden era of internet was the time where the internet had only porn and dancing hamsters, still no popup, and you downloaded music from Napster.
Golden era of easy functional operating system was late Windows XP.
But the golden era of computers in general is so personal.
Someone says that its the 70s and 80s, but I say, that I do not want to load half an hour a program from a cassette tape, and then if I want to do something else, I have t do it again, that is called hardcore single tasking.
Maybe the late 80s early 90s when the floppy was in mainstream, hard drives were still a luxury.
And lets be honest the best media device is a USB stick.
And I can run almost anything from my modern computer.
But yes it all boils down to nostalgia, and that's why I hoard DOS computers. I know that Amiga was the king, but when I tried it in the 90s, I already played Doom from a hard drive. And before that we had those Famiclones everywhere. So really those clunky old Spectrums and Commodores just do not do nothing for me. And i can run NES/Famicom games from absolutely everywhere. By the way they loaded instantly, even back in the day 😁
I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.
