Looks like a very good idea of what Google would look like in the 80s, in a BBS format.

Its just fact.

I wasn't around in the 80's, thats ironic, isn't it?

It's ironic that Google was used as an example of what websites looked like back then. I would have gone with a company that was using the service back then.

Yeah, I agree. I'd have gone with an internet search engine from the 80s.

P.s. the first was in 1990.

Why does nobody understand what irony means?. The only thing ironic here is that kemik is using the word 'irony' when he clearly doesn't understand what it is.

That's ironic.

GD is in bitchy mode today!

The Halk · 15 Apr 2012 at 10:26

Today? It always is. Someone makes a new thread and GD tears them to pieces for it.

Maybe kemik is Alanis Morissette?

Ha! I won't have you disparage Alanis - I believe to this day that the whole point of that song was that it was ironic because there was nothing ironic in it, and I will defend that notion beyond all sense and reason!

Wow, thats some fast baud rate right there.

Time for a trip down memory lane:

The Halk · 15 Apr 2012 at 12:02

Somethings wrong at 22 seconds... up to that point I recognised everything!

I wish adverts were this good now

I love the sound of modems connecting, I was 14 and it was the sound of freedom, knowledge, learning and adventure.

think Im might have to get a new ring tone
