.Neo Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 The speed increase in the past few years is dramatic. Around 1999/2000 downloading a single mp3 was huge for me. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 To the people saying that this must be more than 10 years old: Most of the screens in the video were showing someone logging into Usenet forums (that seems to be what most of the video was about, really), and 10 years ago, most Usenet clients were not graphical, but text based. It's entirely possible that he was running one in Windows 3.11 but running it full screen. Windows 95 would have just come out then, so many people wouldn't have had it yet. Before Windows 95 came out, most DOS based programs ran full screen when run inside of Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miuku. Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Net in late 80s and early 90s was so much better, less clueless and ignorant people online, no viruses, practically no spam.. Those were the days. Now it's pretty much gone to the sh!tter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autodefe Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I've been using some form of the internet since 1993, I guess, when my dad got Mosaic (which became Netscape, I think). I think we had Compuserve or something after that, back when it was powered by Gopher. Anyone remember that? I used to look up Duke Nukem codes on that.. haha.. Gopher sucked. I started playing online games when Warcraft II came out... played a lot of Duke Nukem 3D online as well. Oh and Blood 2. That game rocked. I remember what Yahoo looked like in 1994. Pretty much the same as it does now except it was almost entirely text-based. Very few adverts on the web back then as well... Ah, those were the days.

Look at the 'about' in IE, it's still listed. I spent my first three years online with CI$ as well...very costly back then paying $3.00 per hour.

Julius Caro Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Both Netscape and Internet Explorer were based on Mosaic, if I'm not mistaken. And, I've had internet since 1996, and I don't think this video is very accurate. I think there was already netscape 3.x by that time, or 2.x at least. (in 1996). This video just makes "internet" look some text-based-only thing. And I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTerminator Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I noticed the windows xp computer too, I say its fake \o(3:30 into the clip) 586678666[/snapback] Its not fake, those are reporters from the CBC, a Canadian TV station. They are still on the air today, its not fake lol. Also if you look closely its black not green on bottom half, with white text, that combined with the heavy compression makes it look green kind of.

Shane Pitman Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Let's see, ten years ago, that would have been about the time Razor 1911 was transitioning from floppy releases to CD releases and the "rip scene" was beginning to transpire. That was also around the time that BBS's were dying off and groups were moving totally to the internet. I can remember those days like it was yesterday. And to think, I haven't used dialup in at least ten years. Heh, I just realized I still have the last two USR Courier v.everything modems that I used back in the last of the BBS / beginning of the internet days.

ShawnDude Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I remeber using BBS's back in the day. Oh the joy of 300bps modems. Then in the early 90's I went to college and found out about the internet. Wow! The school had a connection which was an amazing super fast 56kbps! And we could connect to their mainframe using 1200bps modems. And if I remeber correctly the internet didn't start to resemble what we have now until after windows 95 came out. There wasn't any useful internet providers then. Much has changed since then. I like how they were showing usenet groups in the report. Not too many people I know even know about that highly valuable part of the internet which has been around longer than kazaa and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
