[challenge entry]

Yeah so it's based on a 1992 browser so sue me. I was using the Internet in 1989 and I could tell you stories that would bore the crap out of you. I remember when all this were JANET and FTP and dialups when 'HTML' files on FTP servers were new and mysterious things (around 1990) when a simple raytrace would take several seconds using an expensive Silicon Graphics supercomputer and we'd all be amazed. Dot matrix printers were the norm and we all wore onions on our belts.

From the 80s Internet challenge. See all 35 entries (closed)

# That's nothing
I was using the internet in 1987 and all we had then was ones and zeros and sometimes we didn't have enough ones and had to make do with double zeros.
