Found a bunch of old screenshots from 2000 to about 2006. So many programs you just stopped using at some point without really realizing, but seeing the screenshot immediately makes you feel like past you again, and what it was like to use your computer back then.&lt;p&gt;Especially when you see parts of a conversation with someone you didn&amp;#x27;t talk to in over a decade, or who passed away. You&amp;#x27;d think that&amp;#x27;s what a photo would do, so I was surprised how strong of an emotional reaction screenshots can trigger. But then if you were spending 90% of your time online as a teen&amp;#x2F;early 20s it&amp;#x27;s not that surprising on a second thought.</text><parent_chain><item><author>peckrob</author><text>A few years back I was going through some old floppy disks I found in a box and, on one of them, I found a screenshot I took of my desktop circa winter of 2000. In it was a window open with a MUD I was logged into at the time. Another window had Winamp open with a playlist of songs and another window had ICQ open. The only reason I took it was because there was an unofficial competition between our pub and another pub elsewhere on the MUD about which was more popular, and we had finally surpassed them.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s amazing how many emotions seeing that one image gave me. But the biggest was just this overwhelming sense of nostalgia. As I looked at that, I could remember what I was thinking, what I was feeling, everything that was happening in my super confusing teenage life at that time. Occasionally I will look at that image now, even 22 years later, I can still feel all those feeling again.&lt;p&gt;Of course, my ex&amp;#x27;s character is in the screenshot too. So, a bit bittersweet as well. :&amp;#x2F;</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Take more screenshots</title><url>https://alexwlchan.net/2022/07/screenshots/</url></story>

They are of no use, but I keep them around. Class projects, power point slides, word files.&lt;p&gt;I have deleted everything from uni though.</text><parent_chain><item><author>peckrob</author><text>A few years back I was going through some old floppy disks I found in a box and, on one of them, I found a screenshot I took of my desktop circa winter of 2000.
