I got used to looking for registry tweaks, but I don't even know what to call it exactly.
The closest I've got is: A place for accessing hidden settings in Windows. I've made a couple typos in there and nuked an install or two of XP, but I never really changed much personally. Just kinda looked up various ways people would use it to accomplish x, y, or z, out of curiosity.
I don't have to deal with it anymore at least.
Tablets... in use at 2nd grade...
Damn. I know whether to call you a baby or call myself a geezer anymore.
The Internet itself didn't even become widely available until I was in 4th grade or so. Windows 95 was only a year old when I got my very first access to any computing device beyond a very simple calculator.
Being "online" wasn't a permanent status, it only applies for as long as you were allowed to tie up a phone line.
I could say more, but you've heard a bunch of back in my days already probably.
