  All that’s missing is the modem ear rape.

    Pretty sure modem noises were the inspiration behind dubstep.

    There were reports of teenage boys becoming so conditioned that they would get an erection when they heard a modem dialling

    The internet has always been about porn

    The first ever image digitally transmitted was a playboy centrefold. “The Lena”

  I remember when it went down by half an inch a second. Those were the times

    And websites would have a link to a page and say “Warning! This page contains a lot of pictures!” so you wouldn’t click it unless you were prepared to put your other browsing on hold for a little while

      I was grabbing some files originally made for some old DOS software a few years ago and the site had a warning for the 20MB text file download. Like, my good friend that’s just the front page of CNN these days! Thank you for your concern but now it just seems quaint rather than thoughtful

  Didn’t GIFs load from the bottom?

    It was top to bottom unless the image had a rotation flag in it. I don’t remember if it was just PNG that had that or if other formats could too.

      I distinctively remember GIFs loading bottom to top, left to right, which does not make sense with a rotation flag. Not sure why you’re pulling PNG into this, that’s an entirely different file format.

        Just mentioning what format I remembered it with since I dont remember if the rotation flag was in the image file formatting, in the webpage, or if it could be specified in either place.
