    There’s something so cozy about late 90s web pages

      The cozy part comes from the coffee you made waiting for the page to load.

        Hitting the power button on the family computer then putting together a snack while the computer fully boots.

          common mistake, you’re supposed to hit the TURBO button too

          I think about this from time to time, how it was normal to take 5-10 minutes for a computer to boot up at one point in time. Now my PC is up in seconds, and that’s from a cold start.

            Yeah, I remember getting a newer laptop in my late teens and having this moment of “I don’t have time to make a snack…” For better and for worse the wait times we used to fill with little comforts just went poof

              To think, we all thought that email for a free cup holder, which opened the disc tray, was a joke… If only we knew…
