@Sempf@infosec.exchange @cjust@infosec.exchange I’m only a 14 because I thought Napster was bad for artists and didn’t have friends on ICQ. I’d have added something about the BBS/Fidonet/Compuserv/etc. era (56k was the super fast upgrade!) and the dawn of video chat / streaming early in the era where DSL/cable modem were the new baseline.
