???????? I don't get the joke, I guess. I think every computer I built was beige except for the last 2. (don't get me started on the stupid amounts of rgb bling available nowdays...)A PC that's beige in colour could also be a problem performance wise.
Have you tried watching the Matrix with someone too young to remember dial-up? It's frustrating to try and explain to them what that sound is and how it's applicable to the movie.lol my dial up modem made the ding ding ping sounds and it took 30 mins to load a single web page.
Nothing is worse than new slang. In 20 years your kids will be complaining that clothes are called "polyscales" or some BS. I still say threads, and I may be the only one left.I have a 14 year old and a 21 year old. You don't know my pain.
EDIT: But im supposed to know that clothes are now called drip!?
Mine was an apple //+My first PC that I ever bought with my own money was a Gateway with a 486, 64Mb RAM, a 4Gb HDD, a 4x CD-Rom, and a dial-up modem. 2 year and a bunch of upgrades later I'd put almost $2500 into that piece of junk. At one point it had a 48x single laser CD drive that sounded like a swarm of bumblebees.
My first day here I corrected a kg post where he said gambit but meant gamut. Now I realize he does stuff like that so often it would be a futile effort, so I just kick back and enjoy his little snafus like I'm sitting on the beach watching a kayaker get harassed by dolphins.It's funny how some slang terms just never leave you.
Hell, kinggath during the last livestream's Q&A section described someone's life as "getting flip turned upside down" and I'm not sure he even consciously realised he said it.
It's an "older meme" (in internet terms) not a verbal stumble, he followed up with a reference to the next line and everything.My first day here I corrected a kg post where he said gambit but meant gamut.

I'm a little offended that you think every single member of my peer group doesn't know the words to the Fresh Prince theme song. I even know the elusive middle verse that was only used during season 2 (or 3).It's an "older meme" (in internet terms), he followed up with a reference to the next line and everything.
I am having the worst run of making incorrect assumptions about people like that lately. I need to recalibrate or something.I'm a little offended that you think every single member of my peer group doesn't know the words to the Fresh Prince theme song.

Remember "on fleek"? I'm kinda glad that one didn't stick around long
It's not just nouns. I grew up with the phrase "by accident." Now it's "on accident."Nothing is worse than new slang. In 20 years your kids will be complaining that clothes are called "polyscales" or some BS. I still say threads, and I may be the only one left.
Remember "on fleek"? I'm kinda glad that one didn't stick around long, but it was good for a lot of laughs.
Really? That's a new one to me.Now it's "on accident."
I think that one changes by region. Like in most of the country soda is soda, but in the Great Lakes area it’s pop, and in the south all forms of soda are referred to as coke. So if you ask a nashville waitress for a coke and she says “what kind?” shes asking if you want coke or Dr Pepper or sprite or whatever.It's not just nouns. I grew up with the phrase "by accident." Now it's "on accident."
