I never watch anime that old, just because I hate the animation. The oldest ones I've watched were either Dragonball, or Cowboy Bebop. But that's about it.
I'm not sure what a proxy is exactly, but I know what a slow computer is. So, sorry for your frustration.
As long as you can remember, we're the same age (maybe off by some months) and I didn't even know about this part of me until I was 17!?!?! It's amazing how the majority here found out so young...
Anyway, do you sometimes feel old here considering a lot of people here are 14-15? I do sometimes, just wanted to see if you do as well.
