It's time for a retrocomputing and small web revival. And I mean hardware, software, the Internet.
All of it.
I love my fiber Internet connection but would gladly give it up to go back to when computing was actually fun and we didn't have to worry about what we're worrying about in today's world.
Yes, I'm old, but I've never been more serious.

@chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe I remember when I got my first modem. A USR Robotics 28.8k version. To quote Roy from The I.T. Crowd, "Oh, do you remember the internet at this speed? Up all night and you'd see 8 women." 😄
