It's an archive of a lot of the text files that made the rounds.


AWESOME! Thanks for posting that! WOW! The very beginning!

Reminds me of my ProComm Plus for DOS program, was the best, even better than the Windows version in many respects.

Ugh, IPX/SPX. And AppleTalk, and Token Ring, and Banyan VINES and all those other terrible network architectures/protocols that were finally killed by IP over cheap 10BaseT.


Fun stuff I recall some at my first time working in my life here https://www.iol.unh.edu/
 
All this talk about 90's internet got me thinking about the movie "Sneakers". Anybody remember that one? I was probably in my early teens when I saw that and thought it was so hi tech at the time. One of River Pheonix's last movies I think.

I remember sitting and playing Doom and Duke Nukem in computer class in high school when ever we got free time. Remember using Netscape in the library. I think we had some kind of IBM computers in there hat had a "turbo" button on he front of the tower:)

I know I'm getting slightly off topic again, but anyone remember playing he game Myst? God I loved that game. I even had an old Atari jaguar with he cd attachment and had that game for it.

I still like Sneakers. Fun movie.

Duke Nukem, heh, I remember that one. I think that was about the only game I ever played. I tell you, it got majorly better once I got a sound card for my computer.
