Yeah, I remember that one kid in school who was 'collecting links'. He wrote them on a notebook and then told other kids about these cool links. Good times :)

And getting paper books that listed interesting web sites.

Remember when links to individual pages were short enough to memorize without the query string laden beasts we have today?

They weren't short, they were long and had weird characters. You'd have to go to someone's page like http://personal.theisp.net/users/~customername/pg1.htm

I remember writing links on post-it notes and pasting them to the CRT monitor. Even going as far as writing the result URL from Altavista.
