woah, like, totally old school.

so a chat with sujin led to a search for a singaporean pop band from the early 90s, which culminated with finding this video.

damn talk about a blast from the past! funny how things you kinda enjoyed with you were in your teens seem cringe-worthy a decade and a half later.

bygone tech-brands

"napster subscribers fall" says the news article on the bbc.

napster! when was the last time i heard that!? probably in university when it was still easy to 'steal' music. this got me thinking about tech brands and phrases that were virtual bywords in the last decade that we hardly hear of anymore.

napster (of course), netscape (remember navigator?), eudora (gotta love email!), telnet, leonis (the nus server that i had early access to thanks to my elder sis who went to school there, oh, and the PRE-GRAPHIC interweb i might add), earthlink, aol, winamp, mIRC (the client, not the actual chatroom interface), gopher, animated gifs, friendster, lotus 1-2-3, word perfect, ms-dos, california games, kazaa, limewire, ws_ftp, illustrator, pagemaker, ICQ, askjeeves.com, quarkXpress, lynx, IBM's OS/2 Warp (damn that is OLD school),wordstar, dbase, strongbad (how i used to crack up to trogdor the burninator!), bryce 3D, myst...

the list is endless...

i am in a bit of a nostalgic mood, so if you have any other programmes, applications, games etc to add to that list. feel free to tack it on!
