not really a fan of IRC or ICQ. I spend most of the time using M$ Messenger at that time.

Those are the days......where ppl use Netscape Navigator to develope their own homepage, search engines that no young kids have heard of like Infoseek, AltaVista, Excite, Lycos........Geocities is  the king of free web hosting.......owning how many numbers of Mp3 songs are cool thing, being a mods in the public chat forum such as in IRC are chicks magnet, use programs to 'nuke' or 'flood' other users' Windows 95 turn blue screen is the ultimate coolness.....

those are the days..... :Cheers:

Still own a few 5 1/4" floppies as well as 3 1/2" diskettes - should frame them as a reminder of the time when size matters!!! :Laughing_on_floor:

You have no patience young one. I recall the days when getting connected at 14,400 was a blessing.

Crazy wasn't it. Last week I bought a 16GB USB 3 stick for rm70. Imagine if it was rm10k per 20MB :) we have come a long way

And a 20 MB HD was a big thing.
