    “Ancient”. I had one up until 2008.

    Edit: I guess when you think about it, someone born then would be entering high school now. Fuck I’m old. It’s weird because all the 2000s just blend together for me, there is nothing defining the decades anymore, like 80s = cocaine and big hair, and 90s = neon and “radicool” stuff.

      I loved my 1600x1200 Viewsonic, used it till 2010 or so. The flicker wasn’t ideal, but man the colors were so much more vibrant than shitty LCD screens of the 2000s were capable of. These days, I think Apple’s fancy LCDs with HDR win on all fronts, but it took a while to get here.

      iPhones were released in 2007, so in 2008 smartphones hadn’t really taken off yet. We old.
