what the shit... when I first came online we had no fucking graphics you lucky asshole. We had to PRETEND we had graphics by using god damn ascii art. Man... the first modem I had that could actually download any real data was a 2400 baud. Do you know how long it took me to download one fucking TIT at that speed?

97? Yeah, things were different then... I first got online around 93/94. Not a lot of popups considering Netscape 1.0 was the best browser at the time.

I remember back when AOL was cool (2.5/3.0), and all the retarded 13 year olds who could write VB ran their system. Man I miss those days. Or even further back, when the internets consisted of bulletin/message boards, and yahoo was "the place to be".

My first modem was 300 baud lol

I remember dialing BBS's to get porn.

Remember these names

Horny Rob
Tiny Tove
McHenry BBS

Those names dominated newsgroups and BBS's with porn.

wait, let me try to be old school...

(true story)

I remember the first time connecting to the net with my monochrome screen and IBM something-or-other computer. All text, no browser. "Pine" or something. Actually I think there should have been graphic browsers at the time, but I wasn't savvy to them. It was interesting, but i prefer today by far.

Screenshot of our old BBS from sometime in the mid 90s.

It ran on Renegade (thanks Cott Lang) @ a USRobotics 14.4 (single node). The ascii menus (made myself) were all animated.

We later changed the BBS from a classified ad service to strictly adult/fetish.

I started BBSing in 1989 usin' telix, with BlueWave mail reader on a 1200baud external zoltrix on a PC-XT with 640k ram, a 20mb harddrive and a Packard Bell monochrome monitor (later upgraded to an Sperry RGB).

I remember the days where Paint Shop Pro and MS Paint was like the modern day Photoshop. I also remember when huge sites contained no images but just colorful tables and words.
