Tonight, DU is taking us back in time

[Elwood P Dowd]

Reminding us how slow the internet was with those ole' slow Macs and IBM's using Netscape 3.0 (or whatever), OS 7.5 or Windoze 3.1, dial-up, and 12 Megs of RAM. Life is so much better under Bushitler's internets.

1. Hey, I started out with a 14.4baud modem

this is still "fast"

Okay, I lied, I have 3 windows open to DU, and I'm flipping through them as they load.

I'm a spoiled rotten brat. :evilgrin:

2. I never worked much with these internets until the 90's

even though I'm an ole' fart of 59.

4. You're only 10 years older than me, that makes you a middle aged fart

:)

I got in early, just because my husband worked for Intel in the 80's.

I watched the Internet grow from nothing but college web sites and IRC chat rooms to the world-at-our-fingertips that it is now.

I'm so proud and amazed at what it has become. :humbledsmilie:

6. Believe me, since Bushitler was selected

I've become an OLD FART. The Bush Crime Syndicate has a way of doing that to people.

9. I worked on the Arpanets in 1976

long before Microsoft invented the internet with NO government handouts or anything.
300 baud modem too. Sometimes you could get lucky and get the 1200 baud dialin.
On a Beehive MicroBee 1 "terminal" (hey, if you can't say it in 24 X 80, it's just not
worth sayin!... OK, 25 if you count the status line).

I'm an old fart that's been doin this stuff for waaay too long.

3. I thought Gore invented the Internets?

:D



When I first went online, I had a Mac Classic II with 12 megs of RAM, a 1200 baud modem, and ftp'ed my way to the UNIX machines on campus. ;)

5. I think all the internets is slowed down

Cause even Southern good ol boys aren't takin no bio-weirdo ID card shit. In fact, they will shoot the first person who tries to "register" them.

8. "The question is rarely asked:

Is them southern folks learning".

Well, I be southern and we is a learning. Not good news little Georgie. 'Cept for them thare bible thumpers, you is now toast in the south.

7. Yep...Kind of like dial-up....

Slow slow slow....
