Screen Savers weren’t for saving power. The problem they solved was called Screen Burn-In. If your monitor displayed the same thing for too long, the image would start to burn into the screen. It would ruin the phosphors in the screen and basically leave a ghost of the image behind. Happened a lot to office computers where people would use the same programs over and over and the UI would get burned in. The Screen Saver kept the image fairly random to prevent this.

That was the comment I wanted to make too. The main reason it was an issue was because there were systems (not just computer programs, but lots of control systems) where we didn't *know* how a system handled dates. And if it couldn't handle a century rollover, what would be it's failure mode. Or even would there *be* a failure, rather than just limping along. So whatever could be checked was checked, whatever could be fixed was fixed, and sometimes it was seen as an opportunity to replace/update old systems. The problem was seen, and the problem was addressed.

My late mother got me Encarta '94 way back when, and I used it for several school papers. That trivia game, the Mind Maze, though? I swear, I would've needed wikipedia back then to have beaten it. I was subscribed to GameFan Magazine way back when, and I still appreciate how it pointed me to Seiken Densetsu 3 (now more commonly known as Trials of Mana) I used floppy disks in high school and most of college since I had to, in the case of the former, move my work between computers before networking was a thing and, in the case of the later, between campus and home. Drove me nuts when my classmates would use the ones I'd left in the cabinet without asking permission. The iMac had become a staple in my high school's computer lab at or around my junior year, and I still remember how the Foxtrot comic strip made some surprisingly good jokes about how it didn't have a floppy drive. Working out, or studying, while listening to a discman was also something I did all the time before MP3 Players rolled in. Once ripping a CD became a thing, I was at it for days to move my collection. We'd head to Blockbuster, or its vastly more obscure competitor, Video Vault, every Saturday. One time, when a due date fell on Christmas Day and we got slapped with a fine, we were PISSED! ...why do I suddenly have this urge to check myself for gray hair?

I remember my manager really trying to get us to "Push the bundles" (Candy/snack/drink + movie) deals to get an advantage locally.

I got a minidisc player in like 2000. It was revolutionary to me at the time. One of my mose favorite gifts ever received. Was obsessed wirh pogs as well.

I’d love to relive the 90s over and over. It really was a great decade. The original Sim City that was included with Windows 95 started my computer game addiction.

I remember going to Walmart just to look for a non-skip diskman😂

I still have a portable CD player with anti-skip. I should put some batteries & a CD in it to see if it still works. It's in almost pristine condition as I took very good care of it. I don't remember the manufacturer brand though.

Y2K wasn't an issue because we all went to work updating systems to prevent it from being an issue.

The Zip drive that was an external "super floppy" disk drive that could store 100MB to 750MB of data till the arrival of the external hard drive and USB key.

There is still a Blockbusters jumbo sign up in my neighborhood that I’m convinced is only there to harass me to tears…. I miss you BB‼️😭😭😂

Back when 90s were fun and based.

​@gash46 what does it even mean?

3.5" floppy disks were indeed floppy. The shells that protect them are rigid, but the actual disks were made from the same "floppy" material as the 5.25" floppy disks were. They were called floppy disks because the recording medium was on bendable plastic material, which is different than hard drives, which have magnetic media on aluminum (or other metal) rigid platters.

Good. Somebody said it. Otherwise I was going to.

#20: I had a dial-up modem until 2004, when my parents decided it was worth the extra money to have a faster connection. #19: BRING BACK BBs. (I should consider making some petitions to bring back these discontinued foods.) #15: I COLLECTED POGS. And slammers. Never played them but I loved the act of collecting. #13: I had a subscription to Nintendo Power. #12: I used floppy discs before I realized they were next to useless for storing what I wanted to. CDs were a godsend. #9: SCREENSAVERS. I used to love those things in general, though I typically preferred stars and shapes over the 3D maze. #8: DELIA'S OMG. I ordered a lot of makeup and accessories from them, but the clothes typically ran too small for my frame. And my length. #5: PB Crisps need to come back I stg. #4: I miss AIM so damn much. #3: I used Netscape on my school's computer. Then IE happened and that became my go-to for years before Opera and then Chrome. #2: I LOVED MY DISCMAN. No road trip for me was complete without it, the problem was trying to pick 5 out of my hundreds of CDs to take. #1: I remember Super Video Store from my childhood. We rented so many movies from there and sometimes ordered from the nearby Chinese restaurant to eat while we watched.

9:49 Fun little fact about the Windows 95 3D maze, it had a mode where you could actually play the maze yourself rather than just let the computer play it.

Ah the old dial up modem sound If there was anything equivalent to a Nam Flashback for 90s kids, its that sound

Nothing happened for Y2K because people had spent an entire year working to modify software to make sure it didn't happen. It really could have been a problem if nothing was done about it, but it wasn't because a lot of folks spent all of 1999 busting their butts to prevent it.

I still got a bunch of blank mini disks. They were more pricy, than CDs, but held a TON more space and more compact/ convenient. Yep, had EGM subscription and Pogs. Good memories of all these things

Games is what helped me alot in rental stores like blockbuster or Hollywood. Nothing was better then renting a video game you was either unsure about or couldn't afford just yet.

PB Crisps! Thanks very much for reminding me! I ate these once when I was in high school, but I forgot what they were called. I only remember them being from the Planters company.

Man I wish I could build a Time Machine for the soul purpose of going back to the 90s for at least a week once in a while

I was born in nineteen ninety four and this just spoke to me on a deep and spiritual level.

If there's something from Windows 95 that I miss the most, it's that fun game that was included on the disc called "Hover". I played it all.the.time. For awhile several years ago you could find an online version of it, but it's been a long time now since even that went away. Seriously, someone really needs to bring that back!

I was born in 86 and I used to read Gaming magazines such as the Dreamcast ones in 90s, Gamecube ones in 2000s and last but not least Wii ones also in the 2000s.

A Wii magazine sounds highly depressing

I loved my mini disc player, I was certain they would replace cds because they were encased in plastic so it was basically impossible to scratch the discs and burning mixed discs was super easy, alas I was one of the only people I know who had one

I miss movie rental stores like Blockbuster and Hastings. Don’t know if you would call it from the 90s, but how about Saturday morning cartoons? I remember as a kid only having 5 channels and waking up early on Saturday to watch cartoons. It wasn’t streaming that ended it, but instead whole channels that were about cartoons and people getting access to more channels through cable and dish.

Smurfs, gummy bears, muppet babies, Garfield and friends, the list goes on.

One thing that was iconic about the 90s was the electro mechanical bells that we all grew up with in school. Nowadays school bells are all PA bells. It just doesn't have the same feel.

Great video and I loved the 90's too! I had to use the Internet at school and/or at the University because we could not afford to have it at home. I also enjoyed the Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia and I wish that we still had this today. I guess if they put it on-line and/or put the code into the box, that it would work and have new updated information. However, I do not think that would be very popular today because the Internet has more information now than it did back then. I had very few pogs and I gave them away. I do remember floppy disks because they stood out more than a USB drive. My dad said that he was an ancient dinosaur when I had to constantly remind him that we no longer use floppy disks(lol). I loved Delia's but not until the late 90's/early 2000's and I used AOL in the late 90's along with Netscape Navigator. My mom and I loved to go to Blockbuster sometimes which was always a special treat.

I remember some of these things in the 90's I was younger it's been so many ages ago wonderful times. 🙏🎼

Me too, I’m so sad right now, what year were you born?

I was waiting for this video, *WatchMojo* ! Thank you! 🙂 The 90s was the best time to be alive.

Born in 1985 :D I remember so much :) Dila up modems,CRT monitors,floopy disks,game magazines. Appointment tv maybe. Didn't use aol. Nestscape was awesome :D Didn't use discman. Oh yes. Video rental stores :) I remember. Nostalgia :) So many great memories about everything :) Despite everything much more safer,better times. Despite of general crisis,wars. We were safe. We could go out with our friemds on the street,play on the street. Healthy values existed. 90's much better times. Great list. If you can post more nostaligia videos :) I would like to see more :) And many more,so many young people here, in comments

Oh the second spot is the butterfinger bb’s is here and yea i miss it so much. I’m sure there was a episode where Bart threw a bag into a fire and said that not even fire wanted them and that’s what ended their relationship with the candy company and made them stop making it

I was born in 1983 so I definitely remember about 90% of these

Top 3 things I miss from the 90’s 3. Good movies 2. Great music 1. Surge!

I used to love Pb crisps. Haven't thought about them in forever!

Great list, I'm sure there was stuff that was missed that could have been on there instead of things like the PB crisps that you so loved or whoever the writer is loved because this is the third time I've seen them on the list in the last month LOL. But you really nailed it number two and number one, absolutely! I missed the rental stores like crazy, and my discman was a key component to me losing 220 lb in 6 months. So I will never get rid of it

The 90's. Peak of humanity. It's all downhill now folks.

I totally agree. Although the year 2000 was just as awesome as the 90s were and had pretty much the same vibe. I'd say everything went downhill after September 11th and especially around 2003.

9:16 I remember the Y2K panic it was hilarious and Rachel specked. I think the dilbert animated series on UPN handled it best. At least more fun than how it actually went down 11:38 I wasn't allowed to drink orbits as a kid because of the bees are made of jello (pork). 12:24 I had an Apple 2 computer in the nineties. 13:42 I miss AIM, It was my favorite way of communicating in high school in Myspace. 14:55 NETscape Navigator was my favorite browser in high school, It was great for the Gaia online game, I used to set the browser to reload my page Every 30 seconds, Rest in peace nescape Navigator
