Early internet memories :: Remember when......

12-04-2013, 08:16 AM

It used to impress you that you could download a full song 3min song in under 20mins

I remember finding all sorts of music and remixes i'd never had been able to track down before on AudioGalaxy or Napster, and being amazed at how "quickly" i could have them.

I remember getting my Sega Dreamcast online aswell and thinking it was pretty cool. You couldn't actually do much with it, but i remember loading up TheHun and thinking "shit i'm looking at titties on my Sega".

Amazing how much has changed since then.
What sticks out for you when you first went online ??

I always had just regular old 56k dial up for a few years(from about 14 or so until 18). I remember when I was 16, I went to a friend's house who had cable & I could download an album in about an hour. I was floored.

Now I bitch when my 50mbps down connection doesn't download something to my liking...

The console itself never had any games which were available online in the UK i believe ?

It did have some cracking games though. Pity Sega bowed out of the console market...

yeah, there was one, they sent out free copies to registered users. I don't think it was that great though.

Remember surfing for porn clips on usenet newsgroups? You had to download all the parts of "hot babe takes it doggy style", then stitch it together for a grainy 3 minute clip and pray it would be something you could actually beat your meat to.

I remember when the 2400 baud Supra modem was the best thing going.

I remember being on AOL and playing turn-based wargames where we had to save the game after each turn and then email it to our opponent. Me and a guy played the entire Utah Beach campaign that way with the V 4 Victory game.

I remember playing a challenge ladder for the Perfect General game on CompuServe. It was hideously expensive with the long-distance phone rates and super slow transfer rates.

I remember signing on to BBS's and spending forever to download gif (not jpg) files of sexy photos, such as the legendary Bluebird series of Japanese glamour models.

Ah yes, I remember the days. Things are much faster now, but not necessarily better.

This was a machine I learned computer programming on in school. It was before the world wide web, but it was "on line", and crazy fun.

Would love to have one again

My mother worked as a systems analyst at KFC and would bring home 2 of these on the weekends.

I remember taking one to my friends house and leaving it there overnight. I went home and called him up with the other one and we sat there and typed to each other for hours. I thought that was the shit! We wasted all my mom's paper and she was pissed but that is my earliest memory of being online (kinda).

Early GFY memories.

Making a thread a checking back on it only an hour or so later and finding it on the 3rd page (yes things really did move that fast).

I also remember the 1,000,000 th post and the chaos in the hours/mins leading up to it. Never seen the board or any board move so fast in my life. Crazy times!

Started BBSing sometime around 1987-88 in the Toronto area.

I remember we had a 1200baud internal Zoltrix modem in a PC-XT (20mb HD and 640k of RAM). We reached 14.4 USRobotics in the XT before we upgraded to a 486DX-2 that allowed us to get to a 56k USR modem.

My first IP was in '92(ish) - at 56k dialup. Nutscrape Navigator was on four 3.5" floppy disks at the time.

Usenet newsgroups were all the rage back then. Anyone remember the UUencode'ing?
