'95? Nah, there were mice then. I remember Windows 95 being a pretty big deal when it came out.

In the 90's people "clicked" their approval things using African clicking language. The first mouse was invented in 1999 as addon hardware for the game "Counterstrike"

theSnake is correct.

I think the AOL for DOS was through Playnet but by 1995 it was pretty much click click click. I missed the joke. Never played Counterstrike and somehow on this site. Counterstrike pays for this right?

Also I looked it up, the mouse has been around for a lot longer than we thought

The SNES mouse predates this ad. (it was also the first mouse I ever used).

oddeye wrong? not surprised

I remember Atari computers having mice. They also RAM on cartridges.

Yes I am completely wrong, how could I have thought mice weren't invented by 1995 when I had used one then, woe is me.

Yeah, I remember that discussion about fonts we were having a while ago. Somebody should invent an app where you can scan a font and it'll tell you what it is. That would be nice. I liked the one where all the letters were covered in snow.

I tried to find it online. It's VERY similar to 'pecos' but it's not exactly the same.

I spent an hour looking for that damned font. Why do we rush to do these things for you, OZ?

Times New Fuckface

We'd get these all the time. I'm sure there's several somewhere in my parents' basement. I was like 13 or so, but the first thing I did was check to see if there was a Playboy.com. There was. 10 hours well spent.

The thing is, after this business with Net Neutrality, we could see a return to those types of service plans. Hooray!

Sweet. 10 hours of trying to get a boner by imagining drew barrymore's boobs from 1994 here I come!

It was that picture of Drew Barrymore getting tied up by all the boyscouts for me.

90s dialup pseudoporn FTW!

Heh.. yeah in my case it was just like, the cover of the issue and information on how to subscribe, nothing more. When I was a kid though, playboy magazines were covered in their plastic housing by the same big black square that covered all the dirtier magazines.

I discovered usenet maybe a year later, for better or worse.

Almost all of them are in florida.

Jeez. I don't think I even remember how to set up and use dialup anymore. I used to work for a classical music organization and when our subscription management system went digital (made to fire/lay off people like myself to save money) it was the same thing. Mostly hand-holding telling clients not to double-click, things like that. At least 3 times a day I'd get someone who told me she couldn't get on the internet because she was on the phone and had to take notes. :(

by "digital" I meant "online." I also worked at a theatre and they went digital, also meaning that my experience as a projectionist is, for the most part, just some arcane skill I once learned, and not a career anymore.
