Still, it sucked to download a 12 part UUEncoded file only to realize you wasted your time.
just think of how the internet (and computers) have changed.....
No social networking No youtube No such thing as mp3, and therefore no mp3 players. No blogs (If you said "blog" to anyone back in 1994 what would they think) EVERYTHING managed to fit on a 1.44MB floppy Apple products didn't have an i before them
Man, pay phones. Pagers, floppy, dialup, faxes . Hah. Remember when you'd always start your phone conversations with "Hello, this is...", to identify yourself to the caller and wait for the caller to identify himself before we've assumed that everyone has caller ID. Travel agents? Stock brokers? Haha. Reading TV listings in the paper. Video game arcades. Back in my day, games came on cartridges the size of poptarts (heck, bigger)...and we liked it that way. Cassette tapes. Man, such great stories for the kids.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Old school AOL..... ahhh.... the bad memories!

Man, I remember seeing that screen a LOT.
Not because I went on all the time, but because I got disconnected all the frickin' time.
Wait

AOL owns Engadget.
What does that make Engadget?
