Apparently you guys remember a different version of the 90's than I do where nothing bad happened. I remember plenty of good stuff, but alot of bad too.

I remember BBS's filled with by-mail pyramid schemes, "Send $5 to these 5 people, remove the name at the top of the list, and put your name at the bottom! You'll make $25 grand in the next 2 months!"

I remember MUD's that I wasted countless weeks of my life on.

I remember busy signals at 7PM that would not end no matter how many times I hit redial, and using up 2 hour per day dialup quotas before lunch.

I remember waiting minutes for a website to load up, just to find out some asshole had embedded the most irritating 150kb midi sequence I'd heard yet.

I remember playing Warcraft on Kali.net and thinking "Man, 450MB. I could put like 20 games on this thing and it still wouldn't be full. I'll never run out of space!" Compaq Presario with TabWorks! Boo yeah!

I remember PBEM games that usually ended abruptly, as the host disappeared and stopped responding.

I remember playing Earth: 2025 before the owner made his millions and abandoned it.

I remember my first Geocities page (1994, I still have it), and when search hacking with meta tags became the it thing to do.

I remember HoTMaiL before microsoft owned it.

I remember when guestbooks were the pinnacle of web technology.

I remember the horde of 88x31 buttons touting the wonders and evils of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Remember when "Best Viewed with" was on every other webpage?

I remember when frames were considered cool.

I remember when Yahoo's main competition was Altavista and Webcrawler.

I remember when chatrooms weren't just for pedophiles and pre-pubescent teens.

Long live the 90's.
