What are some things that you used to use in the 90’s to early 200’s [I Like Old Computers and Consoles]

I remember road runner internet. The installation disc. Web crawler search engine. I wrecked my computer downloading music off of line wire, that sometimes ended up being porn. LOL. I remember AOL. The “you’ve got mail” sound. AIM used to be so much fun. pogo gaming website. Addictinggames.com

MSN chat rooms were the reason I bought a used Windows 98 computer for $100. Quite a bargain at the time.
Of course soon after buying a computer I discovered AudioGalaxy. Waiting 30 minutes for even one song to D/L over dial-up. The good part though was being able to make sure it was the song and not some BS. I never did catch any virus off music sites.

Even though the web is faster, it is not as much fun. Nowadays it is mostly big social media which dictates what you can or can't post.
That or some company wanting you to subscribe to read the rest of their stupid article.

I remember using limewire and any search done would have the name of the search along with "girl has 0rgasm on live webcam"

And of course the bullcrap results would say "club remix". Even for songs that there is no way in hell there would be some club remix
talk to strangers online.
make fun of AOL users.
ICQ, I miss that.
Make web pages filled with nonsense for fun.

@spjennifer Sometimes I miss the sound of a dial up modem doing its thing. But only sometimes.

@Bushranger Lol, don't miss it at all!

@spjennifer Perhaps somebody should make a MP3 of the old dial up sound that could be linked with wireless use. Just for old times sake, lol.
