It's 1994. "What Is 'The Internet'?"

...and to think there are millions of Tweens out there now who have no idea that anyone 28 or older at some point actually had to have this conversation. Its amazing to hear.

My girlfriend got online (anyone remember Prodigy?) through her Mac in 1991. There was not much content, but it was fun to pretend we were playing War Games...for about a minute, and then the weather page lost it's novelty.

omg can you imagine the bitching if the org had been around back then and we'd have

had a chance to discuss prince's "come" album when it was released?

falloff

btw, i love that album

or the picture threads of prince's emaciated look during those days. people would've

been near suicidal "princy poo needs him some sandwiches, my baby is gonna die"

bawl

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I think Bryant and Katie just had this same conversation last week.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Anyone remember Packard Bell computers?

I remember when Packard Bell Navigator was the OS that was included. Of course Microsoft killed them with the release of Windows 95.
