I'm somewhat Old School. I remember when tables in webpages were fascinating, and frames were commonly used in web-site.
In fact, my first web browser was Mosaic .9 Alpha. It fit on one Double Sided, double density disk, and ran on my Win 3.1 machine. In 1994. I am an old bastard in on-line years, so I'll smack ya down ya whippersnappers!!
I remember Multi-User-Dungeons, and text only chat. Even before AIM was cool there was something even better; IRC.
I uesed to chat on IRC's EFFNET all the time. I was a mod at #Penn_State, and chatted with my buddies of LimeJuice, PsuBrat, and Becah.
I miss them, and recently I cam across a project that PsuBrat is involved with.

Posted by: PSUbrat at July 29, 2004 10:55 PMYep, In was IRCing a few years ago! I was using DalNET before it crashed, and EfNet afterward.
I remember my ol' buddies very well and miss many of them, too. I think it's still going, though I haven't checked in in a while.
I'd like to see a Munuvian chat site open at some point. Pixy's run the idea through his head a few times, but always seemed to favor a "forum" -- which, to my mind, is no different from a blog.
Mu! Nu! Chat!
