| Remind anyone of TV?
Amazing how not very long ago there was no internet. Maybe 10-11 years from now we will be saying something like, "Remember cable internet? That was so slooow. We have 5 gig up/5 gig down."
Didn't they say sort of the same thing when TV was invented? That it would be a learning tool until we got porn. Same thing with the internet. |

Bill Cameron's hairdo was giving me a mild case of the Donald Trump creeps. Let's hope he has updated it since 1993.
I also learned something today.
:-) I am serious.
:-( I am kidding.
Or something like that.
What will they think of next? Internet on phones? :p |

For the most part, a lot of our video codecs, sound codecs, and image file types were helped created to transmit pornography better. |

| wow we've come along way
I can remember when I was just 11 years old back in 1991 I was facinated with ham radio and got my ham license. To this day I still am facinated by such things as linking radio sites together, but it's truly amazing what the internet has grown from. I first heard of it in 1994 when watching coverage of a shuttle mission. I first used it at a school I was at in 1997 and was amazed at the amount of info I could find. I never thought even then that I'd have an always on connection to this internet network, here at my house. Granted it's not a T1 connection like that school I was at had, but broadband has come along way. We just need to get more upload speeds now, 3MBPs in both directions would be cool. With all we do on the internet these days, I'm a bit surprised that it's mainly the DSL providers that are willing to give one any more than 256 or 384K on the upload. May the internet continue to grow! |

| Very Interesting data
I thought all those stats on google were very interesting.
It was amazing how the stats jumped when the events happened.
The video is also interesting, so glad the internet is better than back then.

BBS, that brings back memories. WOW! All the philes and viruses. Also around that time, the LOD and MOD were dominating the internet.

How long do you consider "not very long"?? It's been around, in one form or another, longer than quite a few members of DSLR have been alive - even me (and I'm just a few days shy of 34). Or, did you simply mean, "the commercial Internet"?

And sending mails to users of other BBS'es via UUCP or FIDONet? Emails that could take longer to get there than USPS standard mail?
Yup. Used to have an account on HobbesBBS (was an old VAX, if I remember correctly).

Ooh ... door games. That brings back memories, especially the "pseudo-multiplayer" ones. What was that one big space conquest game where you could set up armies, colonies, trade delegations, etc.? I think there's a WWW version out there somewhere now, because I'm certain I played it for a while at some point.
Yeah, I was an internet user back in the early 90s. I started out with mail/news only, then I had a fully loaded dial-up shell account ... boy, I thought I was hot stuff. Didn't even have the luxury of an X client, just a DOS terminal emulator. |

| What I miss most....
about the early days 89-92 was the relative lack of really stupid people. It took a bit of wherewithal to get a computer up and running, (RAM was about $1000 a MB), and Microsucks didn't cater to the double digit IQs as well as they do now.
The bar of the internet was so high back then that one could actually walk upright through it... My how things have changed.  |

Anyone here remember TradeWars 2002? TW_ATS? I used to play Doom and Duke3D on the Game Connection on a 14.4k dialup and download pr0n that had McHenry BBS tags on it.
I remember my first scat pr0n pic.. HB2A.jpg.. I had to hold a towel to my mouth.
The intraweb has desensitized me.
