    Same, bought Netscape Navigator on floppy disks because I didn’t know how to download it

    Edit: not at home, but I recall in 1994 downloading Wayne’s World and Ren & Stimpy clips with Gopher on the university network. Good times.

      I still have clear memories of trying to download the huuuuuuge 20MB install and a phone call ruining it when it was almost done. All that time, wasted. I think of that every time my phone is now downloading apps updates that are around 90MB in a few seconds.

      I miss the excitement of going 14.4>28.8>36.6k baud and 2x>4x>8x CD ROM drives where each update was very noticeable. Nowadays I do the majority of my computer stuff on my phone, so a bit of the magic is gone.
