Actually, I just miss the internet, being employed and having an articulate president.
You see, the internet of yore was not the cash cow it is today. Search engines were slower, computers were slower, Web Sites weren't as flashy, and there were less sites.
However, there were also less pop up ads, less spyware/adware, and a sense of community on the sites.
When looking for a band, author, or artist through a search engine, you didn't have to wade through 5 pages of links to amazon.com. You got maybe one or two stores, but the rest were fan sites, and sites the artist themselves had posted, or approved of. usually with information, news clippings, and more rarely samples of their work. BUt it was information, not just an ad. Unless you were looking up the sex pistols.. then it was 20 pages of porn links.

A series of random misc. observations of diverse topics. Some meant to inform, some to entertain, some because I enjoy alcohol. Posts are usually written in a modified stream of consciousness, with little to no editing. So if I don't catch it when I'm typing... it stays.

I somewhat agree. 1996 was a great year in many ways. The Internet has come a long way since then, but back then a little Internet knowledge separated you from the crowd. Today it is a different situation.
