computer warmth

Take a digi-trip with us back to the 90s and the 2000s. Web 2.0 apps, beige boxes, and boxy/glossy UIs abound. Welcome to Computer Warmth. - by giftplane

I’ve been on the internet since 1998 starter pack

Reblog this if you are an old fogey online

Reblog this instead if you are a young whippersnapper

Things this starter pack simply does not convey:

The unholy shrieking of the dial-up modem

The computer hanging up on the internet when someone called

How damn long everything took to load

Having multiple windows open in the task bar because there was no such thing as a tabbed browser

IRC bots 

The frantic search for the midi player when a  webpage started playing music

Putting videos on to download overnight

jpg compression on photos taken with the webcam

This:

No tabs, taskbar-only web browsing.

We die like Web 1.0 surfers.
