    I wasn't on the net during the heyday and never used AOL.

    I joined up around 2003 and got a package from my phone provider and had to put filters on every phone jack in the house and then use a specific dual line from the phone jack to my modem. Guy from work was supposed to come over at 7 after work to help get me on to the internet and he was late, arriving after 9pm.

    By then I had it put together/figured out and just dove in headfirst searching from yahoo or some dodgy provider home page.

    Yes that was it My phone provider gave you a little home page where you could add and remove little programs like weather, horoscope etc.

    Yup, I remember the filters you had to put on the phones. And when someone would pick up the phone in another room you would lose your connection.

    I never had AOL either, my first provider was Netcom.

    I remember going into work the first months after getting onto the net and everyone teased me because apparently I looked tired.

    - the internet has an off switch hal
    - did you even sleep last night?
    - the porn will be there when you turn on your pc next time hal

    I heard it all

    But they didn't realize that I got tired of the porn/death pics etc within the first couple of weeks. I was absolutely amazed a person could type a question in and find info about almost any subject on the planet

    I liked to read and remember discovering that most tech manuals, books, encyclopedias, stories were online in some form.

    For example I used to have a monster of a book that reviewed over 1000 movies and would use it before going to the video store. Internet obsoleted that beloved resource in a heartbeat

    Remember when all you had was a 14.4k modem and then the faster and more powerful 28.8k one came out?

    I insulted my brother last night. He has the latest and greatest iPhone and wanted to show me a video on it.

    Wanna lose my interest real fast? Just search your phone for 10 minutes while I sit there waiting and then make me watch a shitty video.

    I watch for about 10 seconds and then hand the phone back to him.

    Him - What's wrong?
    me - Nothing.
    Him - Isn't that a cool video?
    me - I have a nice 27 inch monitor downstairs because I still remember watching videos on a shitty little 4 inch screen back in the early 2000's. We've moved on since then and smartphones are just a giant leap backward in that regard.
    Him - *pouts*

    It was a video using the actual Apollo 11 voice communications set to shitty music that showed more of the two 'musicians' than the actual subject matter.

    You don't fuck around with Apollo 11 material like that
