nigger young people have used windows xp at least once in their lives why are you- oh of course you're fucking imitating those dudes who made a reaction channel going something like "ELDERLY REACT TO DAISY'S DESTRUCTION" and "KIDS REACT TO CHILD PORN"

@lina These videos always kind of impressed me how much these kids could NOT know. Did they really never have a grandmother or neighbor with a VHS player when they were kids? Or public schools! A lot of public schools were still using VHS in the late 2010s! (I was working in the school system at that time)

@cajax @lina The public school system I went to was still using Windows 2000 computers up until 2012. Granted, it was just one per classroom and it was always paired with a Windows XP computer, but they were there because they still worked with most websites at the time which is what most people used them for.

@xianc78 @lina Yeah a lot of classes still had Apple IIs when I worked there in 2017. They didn't want to get rid of them, the games they had didn't really exist for other systems.

@cajax @lina They seriously couldn't just emulate?

My Dad used to work as a math teacher for a public school. He somehow kept all of the old Macs they used, but he noticed that some of the kids were surprisingly retro computer enthusiasts so he gave them away. Someone was able to install MacOSX Tiger on one of them and I didn't even know that was possible.

@xianc78 @lina at the school I worked at it was drilled into us that misappropriation of equipment, even outdated shit nobody in any way in hell is gonna want, is a horrible offense and will be punished to the utmost.

Didn't prevent me walking out of there with a bunch early 2000s mac stuff though. Still have a broken red imac dv in my basement I need to get around to fixing
