I remember Q-Link. It was great for its time. I used hang in the coffee room every morning. The worst thing about it, 5 cents a minute would add up quickly.

People landed on the moon 40 years ago.
Who the hell are you to say how smart people were then?

@poopskinTheLiar I totally understand what you mean. We all have our own nostalgic memories. Mine are from when I was a young kid/teen in the late 1970's-mid 1980's. But getting back to your comment, unless you've actually lived through an era/time, there is absolutely no way you can ever really relate to the nostalgia for that period. Without a reference point, it's little more than a history lesson to you. BTW, really cool/nice comment. It's very thought invoking.

The feeling of finding someone else's nostalgia is quite odd. For me, this is simply a fascinating look back in time at the internet that once was...but for another generation, something that brings fond memories of another time -- memories with personal significance that i'll never know -- to the surface.
The difference a daub of perspective can make is quite odd.

@TerrorBlack Yes you could send "tweets" into the message boards for all your friends to see, and yes you could watch videos, but not at the same time (the 1k connection was too slow)
