    I remember when i used to get on the internet and it took over 5 minutes for half of a page to load. I remember when it was actually kinda hard to find shit on the internet. Now i can find anything i could possibly want to know, see, or hear.....and i can have 5 different websites up and its running as if there is only 1 open. man, im glad im not surfing the web in 1998 again.

    Yea dude I used to play Descent on my grandma's apple. I was so little I didn't know how to play so I don't think I ever beat the 2nd level. I also remember back when IGN was free and putting more RAM in our computer improved performance tenfold.

    I remember the day we got dial up. I think was around 8-10 and I had no idea what my mom was talking about when she was setting it up.

    haha yeah i remember when we had fucking dial up aol in the 90s.
    and half the time you couldn't even log on the internet and it tied up the phone line.

    does anyone remember that game on the old windows 95 or w/e where you controlled some skier and you dodged trees or something and got eaten by a monster

    the good old days, when if you looked hard enough you could find a chat room with intelligent conversation in it. all chat rooms are filled with stupidity now. i used to hate the forum style you know, but HF has helped me get past that.
    i think we used to have prodigy, and there was like a virtual office for the grown ups, and a virtual playroom for the kids. it was pretty cool. played a lot of solitaire, minesweeper and snake. my computer is fancy now. it moves fast, like lightning.

    Shit.. first computer.. C64... then around 1996-98.. we got our first gateway computer.. skipped the dial-up because we had too many things to worry about if someone couldnt get ahold of us.. so straight to cable..

    My internet usage mainly consisted of chat.. porn.. irc.. and using trojans like Sub7 and fucking with people.. or dropping virii on pedos i found.. my virii database on my computer consisted of over 1000 viruses.. my mom ran a scan one day and found them all and was like "i just scanned the computer and found over 1000 viruses... do you know what thats all about" :eek:... i forgot to hide them that day.. oops
