:) yeah it was cool.
Sorry if I sounded disagreeable, I didn't mean to be. I was just taking a trip down memory lane.
I have to admit if it comes to anything in my field I mostly find good content through discussion groups too.
But for me, in terms of personal interests and some other stuff, the 90s internet was full of static lists of links, even webrings etc. It was great because most people I knew irl who were my age weren't online. I could only add people from other countries on Friendster because my flatmates refused to use it and my friends didn't know what it was!
No worries. Felt exactly like that. That's why my mind went to how I felt when altavista's babelfish appeared, I did the same thing for a few minutes before responding :-)
Babelfish was so impressive in its day. Felt like living in the future.
Hey have you ever been to https://www.neocities.org? It's reminiscent of geocities and kind of cool.
No, haven't even realised that Sheldon Brown's site was hosted there. I used to have a website up on geocities when I was a kid, browsing neocities brings back so many happy memories.. Thanks!
