Wow!

I know what you mean. Year by year we don't notice the changes but put like that they're quite noticeable..

Posted by brownie1989
also no dab, no direct x 10, no internet banking.
Things we use everyday didn't exist even 10 years ago.

I know what you mean mate we take it for granted.

What is now and wasn't back then... ehmmm...... living on this side of the big pond AND being legally allowed to drink alcohol, to name the first things that come to mind

ten years ago I had no mobile phone, nor a PC at my house (dorm) at the time, no car, endless energy to go partying I gues some things do change a wee bit.

Tabloid sized newspapers were rare over here (they were all big paper size for some reason)

10 years ago Swissair Flight 111 carrying a friend of mine crashed near Nova Scotia

10 yrs ago i worked for 'the Mouse'

There was no DVDplayer or even a laptop in my possession, I'd never seen a hybrid car, however I DID see a space shuttle launch, something I have not seen since

10 yrs ago my car was a brand new model

10 years ago ('95 to be more precise), my dad took my mom & I on a trip around the world. Last year, I took my parents on a trip around the world.

10 years ago, I had to ask my dad for pocket money. Now I can afford to buy stuff without asking for it.

10 years ago, I was using dog turd software called Windows 98. Now, I'm thrilled with Ubuntu and Leopard.

Everything hasn't necessarily progressed. 10 years back my dad drove a car from a particular German marque that was super sturdy and well built. Now my dad drives a newer model of the same car but it's riddled with problems. An absolute dog.
Some of the modern cars just aren't built like the cars from the 90s.

10 years ago, I were 6.

Yeah. It's pretty crap being 6. It has it's perks at times, like being an aeroplane and whatnot, still being made to drink a carton of milk at break time, still being able to go out and not give a damn/be aware of what you look like!
When I was 6, I had a Scalextric. Racing my dad on that kept me entertained for days on end!

10 years ago . . . I was just barely a 5 month-old member here @ Esato I hope all is WELL with everyJUAN here @ Esato

Posted by goldenface
I'm trying to think what phone I was using 10 years ago. It was either a T610 or K700, or possibly an S700i.

10 years ago I had the K700i

Posted by tranced
I just had a residential phone.

Posted by goldenface
Just been looking at some of my old posts and it looks like I was waiting for a P900i to be delivered. My Xperia Z is a fraction of the size. That's what difference 10 years makes.

Posted by Muhammad-Oli
I was using a Z600i, the phone which eventually led me to join Esato! Cif camera, oh yes.

If it was the time of release then i would have been the same. I really liked the form factor. Reminiscing.

Posted by goldenface
Yeah, the 5-way jog dial, it would be difficult to fit that in a phone now. I liked the flip form-factor.

10years ago I was 14 and had just upgraded from a Nokia 3510i (my 1st colour screen phone) to a Nokia 7250i (my 1st camera phone).

Had no idea what a smartphone was, and only used my phone to text, call and to get wallpapers plus ringtones from wapsites.


PS. Great seeing you around Jojo!

10 years ago I was almost 7. Don't remember a damn thing from then.

Posted by jcwhite_uk
My first post was 10 years ago (actually will be 10 years ago in 2 days), I am still waiting for a reply. I had a P800 back then. I keep thinking about buying a P800 again. Phones have changed a lot since my old P800, camera has gone from VGA to 20MP, Data speed has gone from GPRS to 4G and it has got a lot thinner (unlike me).

Posted by Caspa
P800 was fantastic and looked like it was made by Tomy or the like!

Had all of the Ps but the 900 was my favorite. Loved the silver sliver keypad buttons...

How things have changed as I write this from my N5.
