ScuzzBlog: Diaries October 2019 Entry 17th October 2019: Post 01: The Colossus Computer - The CD Era. The Colossus Computer - The CD Era. The end of my Win95 era also signalled the demise of the CD as a format that I frequently used. I guess it lasted until 2003 but with the closing of so many magazine stores in the town fewer and fewer outlets were available to buy publications. For me I was happy with my Win98 machine and in 2003 I was able to record all my own CDs. I had so many computers by that time networked I had no problems storing data. And the day of cover disk free software just ended. The problems it created just outweighed the benefits. And so the CD era was over and I moved into my most demanding of all my times spent with computers ... the retro era. For this is when my website began and the collecting just took front seat and there was nothing else... well other than gaming. Always gaming. I do have tubs and tubs full of computer CDs. So much so that I rarely give them the light of day. It's sad that I have so many CDs that have never ever been used. I did keep a few dozen out that I did try out on the Win95 machine. I never did find a suitable alternative to Dpaint for animation. Here are a few of the more notable CDs that busied my days in the pre 2003 era. One final point worth mentioning is that I spent nearly as much time post 2003 with the Amiga as I did with the PC. Odd that. The Colossus Computer - The CD Era.
