AH, THE EARLY internet. So much to do.
1. Had one of these discs to boot up the world wide web
Usually picked up by your da at a stall down in Supervalu.
2. Suffered through this
Not to mention waiting for your mam to get off the phone.
I’ll let you go.
The Holy Grail.
3. Signed up for the perfect oceanfree.net email
Sexydivay2k@oceanfree.net. How could it possibly backfire?
They’re still out there.
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
4. Lived in anticipation of 00.00 on Saturday morning to avail of free weekends
5. Checked out all the latest news on these super slick sites
Not forgetting iol.
6. Felt like a God rating people on Hot or Not
While never actually putting your photo up.
7. Shot the breeze on message boards
Talking to this lad in Clare, it’s meant to be gals.
8. Logged on to Bebo to update your flashbox and take that bitch Nancy out of your top 10
Oh to be on that featured page…
9. Set up your own webpage
Yes, it was definitely iol.ie/~kingofdub28746 and contained nothing but a gif and a guestbook.
10. Cruised the oceanfree chatrooms
ASL? 14 yes Cork.
11. And added some randos on MSN as a result
* Signs in and out so they notice you*
12. Checked out the iol webcams
Jesus technology is great, isn’t it?
13. Looked up more information about your favourite movies and bands
Damien Rice message board? On it.
14. Felt you were getting away with the perfect crime by translating your French homework on Babblefish and were shocked when you failed
15. Downloaded songs you hadn’t heard in ages on Napster
It only took about two days to download Gotta Tell You, while constantly looking over your shoulder for the inevitable police raid.
