… these new generation whiny little children?
It’s “oh nooo, my internet is too slow… why do my stingy stupid parents have to have only the ‘10000’ connection” here and “damn, my touchscreen phone gizmo thingy just has 5mp… i sooo totally need a new one” there!
It’s so annoying! Come on, I surf on half the speed and still get all my movies and music downloaded in time (yup, I’m a bad boy… it’s official now Gˉ_ˉZ ).
And I remember the times (ooooh, the times… good times) where I didn’t even have flatrate internet (or internet at all)… And I’m sure most of you know what I’m talking bout (and we’re not even thaat old). That good old sound of my 56k dial-up modem connecting to the net, when you were lucky to have a page like google on your screen after 10 minutes.

I remember our first computer like it was yesterday: *cheesyflashbackmusic*
A 33mhz Unisys with 66mhz turbomode (wasn’t really employable, cuz after 5 minutes or so it started to smoke ferociously) 128kb RAM, two 48 and 72 MB harddrives, running on 3.11 for workgroups and connected to a beautiful 256 monochrome display (i got a color one eventually, but it actually didn’t make such a difference, as there weren’t many uses for color other than paint on my computer at that time =P ) I worked for almost 8 years on that machine, and was satisfied ‘til the end. Of course, by then most of the hard drive was filled with cool MS-DOS game pixels, but hey… it worked… and didn’t crash every 10 minutes like the Millenium crap I got later on!

Well, that’s enough ranting for now…
My first experiences with something called the world wide web (which wasn’t so worldy at all back then, and the biggest difference… didn’t have that much porn yet) will be topic of the next ‘OMG, what’s up with…’ feature and the conclusion to this mesmerizing tale.

c u all back here soon
