Eh, I don't want to go back to the internet of the late 1990's, which is the earliest I knew. As much as I dislike some aspects of today's internet, it's massively better than what we had in the past - both in content and in what can be done online.
<sarcastic_mode> Oh yes, please, more AOL !! </sarcastic_mode> I used to look forward to what I called the AOL blank floppy of the month (after I formatted them).
