It really was their golden era. Being on MacOS at the time was for artists, wannabe artists, and hippies because Apple was still doing brightly colored iMacs and the iPod hadn't gotten over the adoption hump yet.

Win7 let you do anything, and worked so well. MS Office was snappy and fast on a processor we probably use in disposable vapes now. Hotmail was THE free email for years. IE was only marginally less good than Opera or Navigator.

I think I spent exactly 5 minutes on Ubuntu or some Linux variant at the time and it was rough.

Times change. They lived long enough to become the thing they tried not to be.
