RealPlayer still exists and I use it.

I remember when Netscape Navigator came out and it was brilliant, better than mosaic, but slow to load by comparison and we all called it bloatware.

We had internet at work (you could rlogin to different servers and some of them were fast and had internet access), but at home it was pay per minute dial up - check no one is using the phone, dial in, download email via pop3, disconnect.

I wasted hours of my life on irc but nowadays I waste hours of my life on lemmy instead.
