Talking Internet and Nostalgia

Whoa, I've just found out this is already more than half a decade old:



Looking back, some of us have almost a decade of history shared with the internet, and that's quite amazing, when you look back, if you consider how recent the internet is. Who doesn't remember Geocities, before being bought by Yahoo? Altavista, when it was the most popular search engine on the internet? What about Audio Galaxy, which was even better than modern Bit Torrent?

Share your memories

Indeed. Audiogalaxy was amazing. BitTorrent is pretty good too though, with the mixing bowl.

Yeah, I'd say BitTorrent is a second close... it's amazing, but some of the stuff I found with Audiogalaxy seems to be impossible to find now

Why, back in my day computers had only a fraction of the power of the computers we see today. The smallest home computer was as big as a Volkswagen Bug, and twice as heavy. It'd run you around 30,000 American without the ability to slice bread, 40,000 with.

Of course the most powerful ubercomputer was owned by the government. It was enormous and powered by coal and steam. It was the first computer that showed that human computerizers could be replaced by machines. I remember the day that a man challeged the ubercomputer to a computing race. They were given many tasks, and could only answer in ones and zeroes. Through most of the race the ubercomputer and this man were neck and neck, but finally the man pulled ahead at the end and won the computing race. Unfortunately he immediately fell dead from a stroke, a result of the enormous toll his brain had taken from the heavy computing.





This man's name? John Henry the Computerizing Man. He was born with a calculator in his hand. Some say that every time you boot up your computer you can hear ol' John computing away...bleep bleep SKRRRRR wop! Some say it's just the wind. Not that you kids would remember such a man.

My first time in the internet was looking for pics of Claudia Schiffer on Yahoo!

(I was in my early teens, mind you )

This is my 7th year on the internet I think. When I think about it, it's crazy how much it's influenced and taught me.

LOL, I remember using my grandma's checks to register for AOL at 11. Those were the days.. playing Magestorm, searching for porn, downloading roms, gamefaqs, alienaa.. etc.

Hah, p2ps were so frustrating back then. I dreamed of high-speed internet when downloading Mp3s..

there are so many files out there that I was unable to download and will never see again
