Even today I can still receive email sent to <myfirstname>@<mycompany>.com though there's 1,000 employees who have email. They never turned it off when they went to a firstname.lastname@<mycompany>.com addressing system.

Yep....we used PINE as well and thought it was awesome at the time.

dude I still use pine. pine ROCKS

Man, Dephi rocked. Anyone remember them? They were one of the first that gave public access to the Internet. It was a text based service, but they had awesome forums, and there was this space game available where you could take over planets, gain income from them to build a bigger ship, but other people keep trying to take your planets to do the same thing. I wish I could remember the name of it. I think up to 32 people could play at a time. That game was MEGAfun.

Trade Wars

TW2002 is still being played. Some huge games going on.

My dad used to have AOL dialup back in the 90s. It was so funny when he was trying to download a big file and in the middle of it you would hear goodbye. He would start yelling and screaming and I was trying so hard not to laugh. I loved it.

Probably my college email account back in 96. We used PINE a text based email system done through command prompt.

As far as I know that didnt have download helpers back in the mid 90s. He sure wasnt using it. So while squeeking along at 56kb/s for a 10mb file, then have AOL hang up on you midstream was very frustrating. Although I found it hilarious when it didnt happen to me.
