Wasn't it great? While most of you faggots are probably too young to remember, a few of us here had Geocities and could rack up some nasty scores in Microsoft Pinball. Lets take a moment to remember Web 1.0 You turn on your computer and connect to the internet. Success! Just kidding your mom picked up the phone. You try again... You're in. The first thing you do is sign on to AIM. Where your friend is being a dick. And then you get rate limited. Oh well, I guess this means you can burn that CD you've been meaning to make. The disc pops out. FUCK. That's not working. No more procrastination. It's homework time. You open Encarta and search for "sea cucumbers". NO RESULTS. You can't do your homework now. Great. DAMMIT MOM. WHY CAN'T WE GET A SECOND LINE? OK, so you want to look at some porn. BUT THE INTERNET IS SO SLOW THAT THE PICTURE WON'T LOAD. Fuck that. I guess you'll have to settle for some Oregon Trail. Then this happens: And then Nicole gets dysentery. And then you get dysentery. That was fun. So you try to download a song. You search and see there are so many results! You find what you want. It's going to take an hour for this one song. 2.5 hours later... It finished! JK IT'S A VIRUS Then this happens: And this: You want to die. You want a new computer but it's $2400 for this piece of shit. So you just sit there, stare, and hope that the computer will magically work if it "rests" for a while. THE END
I put a pillow over the pc to silence the connection's sound so my parents wouldn't find out. At that time, I sill masturbated to pictures, downloading a 13 mb video was too much.
Back in the day, I didn't connect to the internet with AOL on one of those ancient computers. We had WebTV back then. I miss this startup screen. I used to play Shilla 2 on that thing. This is a resurrection of that game. I don't know whether or not I should play it again though. Dad decided to get WebTV back then because you didn't worry about viruses with that thing due to the encryption software used by it(It was actually classified as military grade.). edit: nvm, shilla is dead
Dude WebTV users were like a step below AOL users who were so bad that many IRC servers banned *@aol.com You guys were like the lowest of the low
I didn't use AOL cause back then everyone knew it was gay cancur. I would hack their floppy disks to save porn and would trade with friends at school.
sometimes i didnt have any internet cause my parents wouldnt pay for it but i still had free juno email and could dial up and send people ASCII porn
Look at how far computers have come. Take a look at the price and specs at that Mac above, then look at this: Raspberry Pi Model B: CPU: 700 MHz GPU: Supports 1080p video output. Supposedly as powerful as the original XBox. Here's something interesting: The GPU apparently doubles the performance currently found in the iPhone 4S. http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile...gra-2-doubles-iphone-4s-performance-20120125/ RAM: 256 MB (shared with GPU) Video output: HDMI or component Sound output: HDMI or 3.5 mm jack. 2 USB ports. It's roughly the size of a credit card. Price: $35
