In my day Geocities had city names and numbered addresses not fancy usernames for your URL. Then Yahoo took over and screwed everything up.
We were happy to have 56k dial up not like the spoiled fiber multiple gbps millennials and their fancy auto generated memes (we worked a day in MS Paint just to insert some text in a picture that took us an hour to download).
I honestly can't believe people still think 56k dial up was slow. I was stuck with a 300baud modem before finally 14.4k dial up. Which is to say it was a huge upgrade for the BBS's that I would frequent just to play the text based game L.O.R.D. I mean, sitting there waiting for it to display each character to form a word and then a sentence could be quite gripping at times.
In my day, you didn't complain about not being able to get things fast enough, you complained about even being able to connect to prodigy and praying that nobody would kick you offline by calling your number or a random person in your house picking up the phone.
My aol page had a lot of Simpson’s gags on it. They’re copyrighted
You should come to my city over at geocities.com
