I remember playing tom clancy's hunt for red october on a DOS based machine we had. About as visually exciting/stimulating as an actual sub battle but the suspense could be pretty real hunting boomers.

I know I had the internet in 1997, might have had it as soon as 1996 though I can't remember :laugh:

I had an original mac with matching printer and the set up. I threw it away in a move.:sad::sad::scat:
I didn't know it would become a collectors item. Did the same with an atari 500 game.

1998. There's two things I remember most about my first days connecting via dial up:

1. Napster. Being able to download music!!!!!
2. Porn. Does anyone remember trying to jack off to pictures that loaded line by line?!?

I believe it was around 1992. We had Prodigy. For the younger crowd, Prodigy was a bit like AOL before AOL dominated the internet. Me and a friend thought we were talking with other young teens (female). In hindsight, they were probably other guys.

Oh man I remember doing that. I would flip the channel back and forth as fast as I could to get that half second view.

On our old TV that had a knob you turned my brother and I would turn it really slow and it would lock the signal in and we had sound too! It was just a little bit snowy but we could watch it. It was called "On TV". We'd wedge a piece of paper in the knob there and it worked like a charm. I remember seeing this porn and one of the pick up lines the guy said was , "why don't we go back to my place, I have the whole Pink Floyd collection on reel to reel". :laugh:

for like 12 months, maybe in like 2005 or something, we had this illegal TV box where we got like every American channel even porn ones,and I think PPV too, they would scramble it every few months but you just had to go on this forum for the illegal box and download a code onto a usb and stick it into the cable box and it would work again, but one day the forum was never updated with the new code and we had to go back to legal cable, it was awesome while it lasted though
