I remember doing an annual complete disk reformatting, Windows reinstall in the early 2000s (restoring all my data from backups, took hours), and scandisk + defragging on the reg, and manually compiling a kernel on my Slackware box. I remember using public terminals that were crippled by adware and viruses. Good times.
