the people who never used the internet before 2004 just wouldn't get it
before 1999 it was hard to even get online for me, such things were still very specialised, and quite expensive

Yeah. Amazing how old we are, already. So much has changed...
Meh, wasn't that specialised, getting knocked offline every time someone made a phone call though... 😜
yeah, my life until ADSL was rolled out circa 2004
Come on, downloading video at 7k was awesome. 🤣
I see most have upped the res on their video, me not so much, I'd rather not add storage or delete shit all the time.
7k?
it was 5kb/s on shitty australian phone lines
the drama that went on for 2 years with my mother's ADSL while they fixed their leaky noisy wires for the new tech
at first we only got like 8k, then it got better to 12k and then finally after 2 years we got max speed at 24k
Got Fibre yet?
yeah, i think it's 300mbit optical here, but i'm connected via copper to the router downstairs, and my VPS/VPN is only 100mbit anyway
i see you spell like english english also
your name seems like hungarian, the name "sandor petefi" or something like this was very common in Novi Sad and i think you say it "shandor"
i love hungary, tho, itt fogyok! nem tu dom!
was very specialised in 1995 tho
my access route was via an org called APANA (australian public access network association) who i learned about from an anarchist bookshop that had a pc with an email client (pine, probably) connected up to the "anarchylist"
idk if the archives of it still exist but i was on it, back in 1995
just finished highschool the year before, and shortly after landed in the psytrance scene
