I like how they say "online website". Was there such a thing as an "offline" website too? :P

[PrivateEyeFan2011]

@halogen123 Yes, web browsers did (and still have) offline modes - they were much more used back then due to the fact websites weren't updated as often and you could save money on pay-per-hour dial up by storing the webpage offline. Hence, for a while webpages were referred to as "online websites".

I love to see what headlines were making the news all those years ago. It's hilarious to look back with modern hindsight and think: Christ! Did anyone guess then how it would all turn out?
