Wow, that brought back the memory of when I first got the internet and a friend of mine gave me a list of web addresses he felt I needed to know, Alta Vista was of course one of them. Suddenly memories of geocities, The Terrorist's Goldeneye site (that name sounds so unPC today, thought nothing of it back then), hotmail.com, dial up modem handshakes, the annoyance of picking up the phone to make a call and being greeted by an ear full of static, and my mom yelling at me to get off the computer so she could use the phone \ are rushing back to the forefront of my mind.
That wasn't even that long ago. Crazy. Things change so fast. I never would have dreamed of someday being able to surf the web at far greater speeds on a tiny little computer with a then mindbogglingly massive 32gb hard drive that I carry around in my pocket while sitting in the passenger seat of a car or waiting in the grocery cue.
