primitive internet

Blake · 01-13-2009, 03:07 AM

for some reason, i got to talking about primitive means of internet tonight. who on here remembers 2400 baud modems?

how about services like eworld (believe it or not, i used to be a mac'er

), prodigy, dial-in BBS's, and old skool aol? i recall my very first 56k modems, i thought that was FAST!

i'm glad that we've progressed to broadband...

i remember back in 1996 when i first had my 28.8K modem, i just discover porn on the web...i was watching little 15 second clips and it took forever to load up. I had the sex drive of an African Lion then, would jerk off, click on the next 15 seconds clips to wait for it to load, make a sandwich, and then go at it again...do this a few times a day.

ahhh the age we live in now, looking back at old school stuff

Surf the web as it was in 1996. You'll even feel like you're using a 28.8k modem.

e.g. Microsoft's website as of 1996:

http://web.archive.org/web/199610261...microsoft.com/

wait for the images to load. Some won't load at all. A true throw back.

Google beta circa 1998:
