Remember the innocence of the internet?

before Linux came along.

Absolutely retarded thread

I remember the screams of hell escaping my computer whenever i logged in, if that's what you mean by innocent

>before ecmascript came along.
le ftfy :-)

>AOL used to be my only access to the internet

It's been a long time since we relied on those damn CDs that came in the mail.

>using AOL
>not taking the disks they send and use them as frisbies

Internet died the day geocities died.

don't pretend the mini-cds weren't cool

I always felt like I shouldn't put those in my disc drive.

The internet was more useful back then. Chatrooms were popular and tons of stuff was going on, I think more information got around back then.

Now anything valuable is either buried in the deepweb or drowned out in the sea of social media retardation.

>innocent
You could find lots of nasty shit desu

this is now nostalgia thread

i miss my minidisc player, shit i used that more than any mp3 player until it was killed in a dark backroom by sony

missed pic

You must be missing the CP user

I had one, I asked for a 32mb mp3 player but my mom couldn't afford it so she got me that instead

>being too young to know Linux predates the open Internet

but it does not

As a lad, I purposefully ripped the speaker membrane off my modem so I could sign in on the family computer late at night and beat it to dirty dirty porn.

I had this beauty for a while before I got a media player that had an actual hard drive in it. Thing was an actual brick.

Ah the memories

I wish I spent more time on IRC. I still like it there. It's comfy.

this is how a monkey lifehacks AT codes.

You're dumb. Please feel dumb.

You had no way of disabling the speaker? I know on my old Win 98 machine I could go into the device manager and there was an option on the modem to disable the speaker.

>open Internet: 1991
>Linux released to the public: 1991
It was created before 1991.

Depended on the model, older ones usually didn't present the speaker to the os.
