Look mom, I'm a DJ!

Apparently it was bought out by Adobe.

When I was much, much younger, I made thousands of dollars a month doing local computer repair, malware removal, backups, recovery, reinstalls, and installing + enabling pirated software (only using serial keys and/or config tricks, NO "cracks", which were always high risk for malware). This, Spybot S&D, and ClamWin never failed to impress customers, and if I had to boot into Hiren's, forget about it. Customers thought it was all black magic, and some would get really emotional and thankful. All through Craigslist and fliers in apartment buildings.

This and SoulSeek were tight (SoulSeek and any of the alt clients for it still are). Even on dial up I always had one of them running around the clock.

Yeah, it was turned into Adobe Audition. In Audition v1.5, the help file said "Cool Edit" in a few places, IIRC.

Napster, aim

>>105803898 (OP)
aim, winamp, mpc, utorrent, that drive emulator with the sheep icon, notepad++, tibywall, uhhhhh I can't remember I've been using Linux only for like 15 years, and I never really did much on Windows except consume content..

I did really love the 1998-2004 era on AOL, I was a retard who used to spam porno for adult revenue service, not even smart enough to be a script kiddie, but I did manage to make some shit with vb6 via popular aol api bas files. had a bunch of "leet" Phish, 3chars, indents, host accts, etc. you could harvest screen names in random lobby chats, load them into a password cracker with a simple password list of like abc123, password1, iloveu, nsync, etc. and amass hundreds of stolen accounts to use for dialup Internet access so you could do your dirt without getting mom's AOL account permabanned.

Empee3 player by freeza, t4nk by Kai (a phish tank for storing stolen accounts), spamsock (a winsock and later cgi-formmail spammer), ass by Mikey (aim spamming system) were some of my favorite AOL proggies.. crackers died all the time as the exploits were patched by AOL, but I used a lot of them. We used to hang out in private chat "vb" and all the l337 h4z0rs would be there with their idlers, mp3 players, spamming programs or password crackers chat-sending their rates per minute and shit.

Those were the days. I wish I had been a little older so that I'd have learned more during that era. I remember using red hat and mandrake Linux for the first time during that era.

I miss the sounds old computers used to make too. The warm flicker of a crt monitor, the clicks buzzes and hums of a PC booting up, building Frankenstein machines out of all kinds of found and stolen parts. Good times.

>>105810338
For me it was sheep.exe..

here's a screenshot from a Windows 7 VM I put together years ago, for nostalgia purposes, long after switching to linux.. I never really used Windows 7 for very long I bailed not long after XP became unviable

Like an IRC client but with a 2D plane everyone can their avatar around on. Avatars can be any image.
Had trouble even finding existence of this but used to use it daily to talk to some weirdos I knew.

Found a better picture but I guess Reddit converts gifs to mp4 even when they're not animated

>>105812093
what's with all the blackface???? yikes

>>105811957
I prefer my OLED thank you very much
Also I do miss the sounds, it's not even nostalgia everything now feels so sanitized lacking of character. I should find a archive of old sound effects and change them in my DE

I remember Yahoo messenger had a public chat thing and I found a lady who was close by who let me suck on her titties.. I was a little fat 14-year-old and she was like 40, I rode my bike to her house.

there was some program that logged the wifi password anytime you connected to a new one. this was useful when i was moving around a lot and would forget.

other than that, idk. i'm glad i have chat gpt and python and can just make scripts to convert things and format things for me.

You are a fag. Tons of cool content (music probably the most) is on slsk

That brings up memories of talking with my mates and setting up Custom Games in WCIII.
Skype replaced it later.

I fucking loved WLM. It was so much better than AIM at the time.

Adium was such a good IM client, had support for just about everything but it was a Mac exclusives. Had tons of great addons and customization options.

Litestep and gaim. Crazy that Pidgin is still a thing.

They replaced it a couple years later with Google Chat / hangouts / meet / whatever-the-fuck-google-called-it-this-week.

I never really used it but I wish Microsoft Comic Chat had caught on more than it did.

Nice, I had Ray Dream 3D back in the day Windows 9x days.

I definitely used AOL for longer than I care to admit.
Looking back, it was a pretty cool leftover from the 90s era of the internet, even if it was an absolutely inferior product compared to other browser at the time. AIM was pretty cool while it lasted. I still remember going on POGO and talking to people I met over AIM.

I both loved and hated virtualdub. Tight optimized software that just worked for what it did, abandoned and picked up by like 3-4 different groups but never updated for the world of .mkv and h.265 output. I think even h.264 was a struggle.

God damn frame serving with plugins takes me back to the software struggle days.

Coral DREAM 3D. Never did figure out how to use this one as a ~10 year old

Foobar2000. Do people still use this shit? I seem to remember people on /g/ (or maybe it was /mu/) posting about it all the time, maybe 10 years ago. Never see it mentioned anymore.

Allegedly people in the legal industry still use WordPerfect to this day. Not sure if true. I only knew about it because it came with this CD containing a bunch of Corel software, where I also learned about DREAM 3D, back in like 2003 or some shit.

>>105824265
Of course people still use this. It's simple and just werks. But also has a bunch of plugins if you want to customize it.

µTorrent and Azureus. on to qBit now
Trillian, pidgin, AIM...
winamp
imgburn
KaZaA
LimeWire
daemon tools
>>105824265
I still use it and mpc-hc/k-lite daily

I think people still use GameMaker, but the current version is completely unrecognizable to me, so posting a screenshot of GameMaker 5 from 2003. I loved this shit as a kid. Now a little over 20 years later, I turned this into a career I love (not game development, but programming), and making an astronomical amount of money on top of that. Thanks for everything, Mark.

It just feels so warm and welcoming. Nowadays, these various messengers feel lifeless, obsessed over emotes and dumb filters.

Yup. Used this, used Winamp, but somehow ended up using iTunes for Windows, back when it was still a nice, tight program.
