Memories of the internet that seem quaint now

Having to make sure you weren't online if you were expecting a phone call

Choosing which search engine to use to look something up. I suppose theoretically people now could use Bing, but hahahaha :D

People saying "what's your handle?"

Typing emoticons as actual puncutation and having them appear as actual punctuation

Having to get permission to cite a website in my thesis, then having to invent a way of citing it because one didn't already exist (it's the same method used in Harvard style now, but I don't think they copied mine, it was just the logical way to cite it)
 
You would think at this point there would be a better multimedia player, loads of keyboard shortcuts. Groove music? Fuck right off. Windows media player? You pricks is the worst piece of shit I’ve ever tried to use, apart from iTunes.
 
Tbh, that's the bare equivalent of me saying I was once a good Algol programmer. Bit niche.

Very niche.

But I thought that was the point of this thread.

BTW I never did Algol. They taught me Pascal at university. Bring back "::="
