You're hurting my nostalgia, like crazy Picks.

It's been a long time since I was on MUDs, though I still have a FurryMUCK account (that's old enough to drink and then some).

damn you actually had to limit what the file was called back then?

Eight characters for the name, three for the extension.

AHWW9212.TXT

The Apple iic ran on a whopping 128 KB computer.

The standard was set, and even more advanced systems would only tack on a larger file name size indexing system to describe the file but keep the actual eight character limit for internal processes so as to be backwards compatible.

That kind of economy with characters trend bled into everything else.

Hope you have lots of fun. :3

Yep,
- dial-up internet (get off the phone! whoops sorry were u on the internet?)
- Win95 (DLL hell)
- 2gb harddrive was **hot**
- no usb sticks, maybe 40mb Zip disk
- DOS driver conflicts grrr
- no Gmail for free accounts / FA / DA / sofurry / SPAM
but
- Transfur also had stories
- TSA updated regularly

Have to go sift thru some files nostalgically now. Need a furry wayback machine :)
