Remember when...
...you could go to a website, any website, and not spend the first minute of your visit closing popups asking you to subscribe to an email list, or accept cookies, or sign up for 15 percent off sales before you could actually get to the content you were after in the first place??? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Remember when you could argue with your friends at the bar and nobody had a phone to fact check, so it was a battle of who's lie might be closer to the truth.

I remember when the digital age was born, it was so slow, but man it was fun. It's all faster now, but much less fun, and you can never tell if what you're reading is truth or paid-for-truth.

Which is precisely why all phones should be checked when entering a bar. The cell has completely eliminated passionate bar fights.

I remember Compaq PC's coming preloaded with Ask Jeeves and all the old people loving them. LOL
Netscape was what the in-the-know used. Yahoo filtered too much porn. |

Price Club had "internet in a box" for $99. Me and a buddy got all the drivers necessary (on FLOPPY DISK) and then offered to install AND train up to 2 hours, for the same price.
He later became a local ISP, while I chose to sleep at night.
