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:
