"Information superhighway" 🤣

More like flash games and Runescape private servers.

As a kid, all of us nerds got our own computers eventually after much begging. (Commodore 64s and such.)

And occasionally, we had the magical moments when we got to visit the occasional person who had a big computer. (PC clones)

No information superhighways yet!

My best friend got cable internet around the same time we had just gotten dial-up at home, you're darn right I was gonna go over there so we could experience the Information Superhighway(r) together

I'm a 2000s child and did this

I remember my, well, the house's first computer, a Windows 95 machine (no idea about the actual specs). Shit was magical to my then 5 year old eyes. The internet only came some 3 years later and time online was heavily regulated because of the phone bill, also because someone might be waiting for an important call or whatever, which was usually my older brother waiting for a friend or girl to call him.

I remember my friends would be cramming around our buddy's computer watching him play Sim Ant. Ran on DOS I think.

I built my first website without access to internet. Just locally for me and my friends.
