I miss the screaming banshee sounds of dialup.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

I would have used teletext first if anyone else remembers that. The late 90's at an internet exhibition was the first time I used the internet. In the year ~2000 my parents bought an internet box for the TV. Technology seems to have a very short shelf life, every few years something new comes out, after the TV box we jumped to PC with dialup, then broadband, then wifi, now Gb is the new thing, direct cable to brain next, after that we're in the matrix bending spoons

Born in 91. Did internet in 2000 on the windows 95
-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

My uncle set my parents up with two Packard Bells in the 90s. The first ran DOS and there were a few rad games on it like Commander Keen and Space Invaders, as well as several other older arcade games. The second initially had Win95 but when we upgraded to Win98 we also got a fancy 56k modem. That was late '98 or early '99. Ol' Netscape.
