    True. But relevant as far as ‘turning points’ in internet history.
    Forum Cross Pollinator, gratuitously strident

    Getting white screen 5500 ERRORs when trying to access the TRGs today. Once again, this is the oldest bit of internet going.
    I still call it The Jake.

    I remember using a version of the Mosaic browser that was less than 1.0.

    This old school Internet forum is really slowing down. A lot of lag and frequent bad gateways.

    Not sure how much longer the box fans are going to keep running. Maybe the network manager for TGR is out hunting for a robe?

    Why don’t we have a Redit community?

    I had a temp job on campus during Napster’s glory days (pre-lawsuit) that gave me a T3 connection, a Zip drive, and 2 hours of work in an 8-hour day.

    This was a classic. Not all the original pictures are there anymore, but it works for nostalgia.

    Gotta love the ol' dial up connections.

    Back in the early days of the interwebs all we had at the UW-LaCrosse computer lab was........telnet!

    My go to for bulletin board service was the University of Iowa's telnet service. Text messaging unknown strangers from across the globe.
