I’ve been on the internet since 1998 starter pack

Reblog this if you are an old fogey online

Reblog this instead if you are a young whippersnapper

Not Sims related, but I had to reblog this due to the memories and the fact that I have actually, literally, been on the Internet since 1998.

Where to begin? The AOL log in screen (we would get free AOL CD-Roms EVERYWHERE, even inside cereal boxes), ICQ (I actually want to download the ICQ sound for my phone), Yahoo, ugly Geocities/Angelfire websites, guestbooks, TRIPOD, the connect to the Internet icon and the sound my modem made while doing that.  Memories…

Now get off my lawn, kids! 

Okay, I may have not been the one using the internet in 1998, but I still watched my dad use it. 

Anyone remember dial-up? My dad had this ultra edgy blog (some kinda spoopy goth junk) and he was so obsessed with running it, no one could use the phone for hours. We couldn’t even get the call notifying us my great grandfather passed away o~o

You whippersnappers are so lucky! Now you can use “the tumblrs” to make edgy blogs AND use your landline!

… Do people still use landlines? I mean, I do, but I live w my grandparents soooooooo >.>
