Im pretty sure this was during the time when a lot of ISPs had a monthly flat fee and then charged like another .50 an hour for anything over 10 hours?

Wow.. the memories of old. I remember using a 14.4 baud modem to connect either to the local BBS or to the local small internet provider (I didn't like any of them large AOL/Compuserve conglamorate crap). When I got onto IRC, I originally used mittens only to discover that some other guy had "mittens" as his handle on IRC so I became MsMittens, registered it as a domain. I originally got that for free in 1996 and I still have to this day.

I remember usenet, gophers, WAIS, the world wide "weeeb" (anyone remember that commercial??), ICQ, etc.. They hadn't gotten the browser yet for Macs but they were coming out soon.

Ally Mcbeal? I watched it. Fell in love with Portia de Rossi well before she ever came OUT and I ever knew she was gay. I had mixed feelings on the dancing baby. I liked it, but it freaked me out at the same time.

Fun topic.

LOL I still use the Meg Ryan you got mail wav too. Don't tell Angie cuz she'll time me out.

Hey, my mac at the time was this:

Apple MAC Quadra 650 with a whopping 16MB of RAM and a special PowerPC chip to use for graphics. This was still the old Apple chips. The monitor was a huge 15 inch one with a 500MB drive. To install Aldus (BEFORE Adobe bought them) Pagemaker was 22 floppy disks and Adobe Photoshop was 25 (I still have them somewhere). I had a black and white 300 dpi scanner and network printer. The whole setup set me back $12,000 CDN.

And I was using nifty things called Iomega Zip drives and disks to submit my desktop publishing stuff to printers.
