TBT Tech Edition

C&P from gugu, najua shule yenu ilikua na kibandanski

in 2008 nikiwa form one niliamua niende cyber nione hii internet ni nini, learnt how to use google, opened my first email address (Yahoo which was the best back then). the patience when the pages were loading and worse per minute was one bob. Rarely used that email address, ningeifungua tu, look at those Yahoo messages, smile and feel proud vile niko mbele I have an email address.

in form 3 I made sure everyone in my class had an email address and a facebook account, told them that is where the future is, back then kugunguliwa email account na mtu wa cyber was Ksh 30 and Facebook account was 20, I would do it for my friends and in return, they paid my browsing fees.

my first internet phone was LG C105 in 2012 on my birthday in June. bought it after working and saving for 2 months

hii Huawei nakumbuka I had some problems with it nikaenda kuuliza klist, nobody gave me a credible answer, spent the next months reading and practising almost everything on xda nilirudi klist kama mimi ndiye nasaidiana

Where is the TBT? All am seeing here is Blah blah blah na sitaki kusikia.

this is the phone that introduced many Kenyans to Android

Safaricom really marketed it.

hii Simu ukiwa Migori you had to go to Kisii to buy it from safaricom shop

Mimi nakumbuka MS DOS, nilijifunza in 99. I still fall back to command line machine ikinisumbua. Halafu ikaja my favourite Win 2000. I used it until 2010…bado nina hio operating system.

I accessed the internet for the first time around '99, back then if I’m not wrong the only ISP was Africa online. I remember after a few visits to a cyber cafe, the attendant which was a very tech savvy job then asked me if I want an email address. Yahoo or AOL were popular out there and you couldn’t open one locally anyways, my first email address was [email protected]. The rbs sub domain was the cyber cafe at soin arcade, I doubt if tao had such sophistication of a cybercafe.

Porn: Jpeg and Tiff files were the clearest thing never seen before on VGA screens, you could save a few on a 1.44MB and hide it somewhere to access offline in the computer lab.

Gaming: I miss all the retro 8 bit games that I loved so much from the naughty draft, MR. Mario, Prince of Persia, Super Dave etc.
P.S Playstation 1 was the epitome of finesse and cost a king’s ransom. Only super rich fags like akina @nairobilay could have been bought for then.

from RDI nikajipata Nairaland still in the tech section and made quite a big name for myself there as by then i was a sat guru, then came klist and later jamii forum.

Hi baby brother @Deorro 08 ndio nilikua nafanya comp na driving dad si unakumbuka ukifukuza tuvijana hapo nje ya gate

nairaland nilijoin 2013, I used to be active in the Romance section, those guys write some good hekayas. mimi nilikuwa wale watu wa kuwapatia psyche waandike. My first forum was Mashada hapo 2012, some guy called Rexx used to post some good safisha machos, nashuku rexx ni @mayekeke . Tukiuliza where he got them from akapost moja iko na watermark ya Klist. Nilijoin klist lakini nilikuwa tu kwa Africanxxx. siku moja kuamka napata admin amefunga african xxx, hapo ndipo niligundua kumbe kuna pia klist, tukahamia main site, ile siasa nilipata huko, hapo ndio nilikona akina Jakeino (Pengine Hana Degree OGHW)

I still have a system running Windows NT 4.0. Works perfectly.

nilionja mk kwa windows xp in 2006 kwa comp ya Anko. back then comp ingebeba more than 20 games, MK, NFS etc siku hizi hata 5 games installed kwa comp ni balaa, you have to save them kwa external

Yes, haina madoido mingi:)

Who remembers zile discman za Miyaki? Looked exactly like Sony but Chinese knock-off. Siku ileniliipata was like God came down and touched me. Battery zilikuwa za Tiger hata hazimalizi disc moja ya 18 songs.

The first PS i got was the PS2 and my bro gave it to me coz he never had time to play it. That was 2002.

We used to have a Pentiun II in the house in around '98. Luckily enough we got the dialup credentials for Braeburn’s wananchi online account. I throroughly abused that account. I remember downloading stuff with Limewire, Napster and playing mp3 files. But it used to take me like 2 days to download 1 track on 56kbps connection…which half the time acted like it was 28kbps.
I also had a yahoo account, still do actually. I also had an account with excite.com…i used to chat up wazungus in those yahoo and excite chatrooms. Telling them how i want to shag…a couple even sent nudes via their webcams! The kawasaki those days was intense.
