In the late 1990's you were still using Packard Bell computers. [ NOTE this is NOT the same company as Hewlett Packard. They are totally different companies]. They were absolute monstrosities. They were huge. I think that women would have struggled to carry them. I could barely carry the massive deep TV style monitor or the huge motherboard.

I had a Packard Bell that in 1999 had 10 GB of HDD and 96 MB [!] of slow DDR RAM. It had windows 98 on it. Maybe 95. It was a dreadful computer. It was also very hard to open up to put in more RAM. Packard Bells had this weird double screw double panel motherboard construction.

I still had it lying around a few years ago. I got it out from a cupboard and plugged it in and whacked puppy linux on it which worked albeit slowly.

Anyway here is a fantastic piece of Packard Bell propaganda. After watching it you will be convinced that Packard Bells are great and have been a central part of US IT advancement ...Innocent

I had a Gateway computer, with a 133MHz processor. Remarkably it handled the monstrous demands of newer games with recommended speeds of up to a whopping 400 Mhz.

I still remember the Commadore 64.  My first computer, I used it as a paper weight.

Anyone who liked Packard Bells is beyond my understanding. Such people fall into the category of another 1990's mystery:

Actually an interesting aspect of the X-Files theme music is that the video above is an abbreviated version.The full version goes for 5 minutes and has a voiceover saying "do you really want to know" in a whisper. That full version sounds more "poppy" and isn't scary or unsettling at all.

Some people think we are the aliens, perhaps an episode from the files.

You must educate yourself! You have been deprived of a central pillar of human culture. You must become X-filed.

The basics.

Fox Mulder: FBI agent who believes in aliens, smoking man beast, anything.

Dana Scully: FBI agent who applies her skeptical medical training to not believe in any aliens or paranormal wacktrap.

Together they investigate cases. Hence X Files.

You're a 90s kid if you were born in the 90s.

for the free time, I'd probably begin at a very early season at this point, also currently catching up on "The Wire" after that I will try!!

You're a 90's kid if you enjoy listening to unplugged Grunge concerts, like the MTV (when the M stood for music instead of money) sponsored NY concerts of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, and the like.

The X-files, LOL!

I remember recently I was sitting around with my friends wathcing TV, that show came on. Just to be a smart alek, I said "Oh! I remember this episode! This is the one where they figure out EVERYTHING! JFK, Area 51, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster. Everything!"

One teenage kid says "Really!? Wow! I've never seen this before!"

So we watched it, as it gets toward the end, I see him sitting on the edge of the couch, waiting for the climax.

Then the show ends, he says "But....I don't get it. They didn't solve anything!"

We were like "Of course not! This is the X-Files! They never solve anything on this show!" And he says "Oh..."

Then I say "The X-Files?? Oh, I'm sorry! I thought we were watching Scooby Doo! Shag and Scoob woulda cracked that case!"
