Crazy indeed. I am sure you feel the same way about crypto. Right?

3kb/s was a good download speed. Downloading 10mb in an hour was normal. Websites didn't have pictures because the speed was so slow they wouldn't load.

Loading images was a whole thing back then. Really made you cherish every jpeg.

I’ve always believed the late seventies to early eighties was the best time one could have been born. Experienced just enough of the analog world to truly appreciate the digital revolution without being scared of it and without being born into it. I seem to have similar childhood experiences as you related to this.

internet was pretty useless in the beginning, but it didn't matter, used it anyway because you could just tell it was magic
