When I learned how to turn off the sound of the modem

That was like the beginning for me. When I started truly learning how to unlock the secrets of the internet and shyt

Warez...hacked porn sites...

God we've come a long way. The kids of today and tomorrow will never know. I remember having to DL a 1 Gig file overnight because if I did it during day I'd catch hell cause my parents would be missing phone calls and shyt.

Sneaking downstairs to play Lineage and Ragnarok at 1 in the morning knowing I got school @ 8:40

When I got my first PC in college...shyt was like when Neo realized he was The One in the first Matrix

It truly was a different world back then.

My fam got our 1st computer in the mid 90's

*sneaks down to the game room.....late night*

*fires up that dial up connection*

*turns the volume down*

*discovers the world of internet porn*

*is completely oblivious to things such as browsing history*

*next day someone logs on and wonders why simply typing http:// brings down a drop down menu with all the foul shyt a young 3Rivers was watching the night before*

*is questioned*

*calmly proclaims innocence*:smartdumb:

*can't be proven so is let off the hook*

Those were the days

Windows 3D Maze Screensaver - YouTube

Was there ever a way out of that maze?

 

[Camammal]

what yall know about the "open when finished downloading" struggle?
had a nikka coming home on some

 

[3Rivers]

tryna 30 second download a porn clip.. you 90% through and then the phone rings and you have to start all over again

and if you have siblings, the absolute war it would start when you're trying to surf the net and they would keep picking up the fukking phone

 

[GollyImGully]

nikkas dont know the struggles of being completley shook of every sound you hear at that time of the night im 22 now and just thinking about that shyt got me

i used to hop on every night at around 2am because i knew thats when everyone was in a deep sleep

this was when i 1st found out you can play snes & genesis games on pcs with emulators i was

but back then it was hard as fukk finding working roms..i spent a whole month waking up at 2am every school night tryna find yoshis island

 

[BIGDENNIS10UK]

"it has to load, it only takes 2 minutes....." ,
