Best reminiscing thread?

[RFCUK]

Like everyone else I am going to start with, 'Since there are so many threads....'.. I thought perhaps we should rank the best reminiscing thread...

My favourite is...

[Hugo Boss]

LOL @ People who only started supporting Reading recently.

[Mr Optimist]

Nostaliga aint wot it used to be.....

[RFCUK]

LOL @ People who only started supporting Reading recently.

Don't you find it hilarious when you start mentioning players such as Linvoy Primus, Ray Houghton and Mass Sarr people come across with a look of bewilderment across their face sayng 'Nah I can't remember them..'

[Forbury Lion]

The Robin Friday thread that appeared about 10 years ago on here, genuine first account posts from those who were at the tranmere game and saw that goal.

Also, the Simod Cup thread that appeared back in '95, just before we revisited Wembley.

LOL @ People who only started posting on Hobnob recently

Genuine shock when Mrs B asked what Hillsborough was about on on the anniverssary thread a while back.

Did the Internet exist in 1995?

[Uke]

Did the Internet exist in 1995?

If you were lucky.

It certainly wasn't that common, and mainly for workplaces (email etc.) I first got email in '96 and hence t'net. No restrictions, no workspace spying....all the 'dodgy' files and pictures you could download...

I don't remember forums in HNA back in '96 just email submission but I could be wrong.

Memory, they don't make it like they used to....

Goatse at 56k was it ever worth the wait?

I first "Nobbed" when there was the old style board and have always had the same name since early '97

28k! You lucky, lucky bastard! I started off with a USR 9600 and Demon - which cost a bleedin furtune - and all we had for forums back then was Usenet...

For the RFC mailing list it was fine. It was when I discovered porn it became relatively useless.

I remember it taking nearly an hour to download 1 picture of Jo Guest.

In the days when I started on computers compuserve (the only provider) was limited to the boss and the modem which clamped onto the standard BT handset

56k was courteousy of Pfizer and their billions - so porn free, as free as the wind blows, as free as the grass grows

[Maquisard]

I used to work with some people who shared a house with the people who set up Demon, or it might have been that my colleague was a friend of some people who... it was a llooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnngggggggg time ago... happy days (didn't have smilies when I was a kid)

[Horsham Royal]

Well she is quite big.

[Maquisard]

Though having read this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_Internet, I don't recognise any of the names so maybe I just dreamt it all

Well if we're talking starting on computers, I started with a teleprinter, an acoustic coupler (in a polished wooden box) and two half hour connections a week to the ICL mainframe in Bracknell. All to do a bit of wordprocessing!

I had Compuserve too for a while - remember that stupid champagne bottle cursor when you successfully connected - but can't remember whether that was before or after Demon, went with Clara when they started at a much more reasonable price.

I liked Usenet until the AOL kiddies and spammers came along, though tbf it was bloody Mike Corley really finished it for me. At least that mad bastard leaves forums alone, touch wood.

[Maquisard]

Yup, this is definitely the best reminiscing thread

Had to look up Mike Corley http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A694523

Bloody teleprinters! Had one at school,

2 hours typing in a program, putting it onto punched tape.

Send it off to Shire Hall

Get it back a week later
