    Haha, the internet did not fit on a 1.44mb floppy in 1998. Curious to know what was on this‽

    1998 was well into the CD-ROM era and the internet was full of .mp3s and .isos by then.

      Trans-Equity is apparently a real estate brokerage in Florida. Maybe a backup of their website?

        I’ve heard from a friend that the best place to hide porn is the most boring sounding folder ever…

          I always hid mine in a folder in My Documents. I always named the folder something that sounds like you could fuck up the PC if you mess with it. Usually FAT32_j2431z. Then I’d change the folder icon to something computery

      I assumed it was the configuration to set a computer up to connect to the internet.

      If it’s not meant to be funny, it might be a site index.

    My Star Trek GeoCities website in 1996 had so many images on it you would have needed a CD-R to back it up.

    In 1998, there was so much media (Images, music, shareware, games, even video) on the net it would have taken a server farm to make a copy.

      I knew people who would print out stuff from the internet and bring it to work to share with everyone. Without someone’s email address, that was really the only way to share it, since nobody had mobile phones at the time, and even the few phones that existed didn’t have Internet.

        I remember printing off cheats for my PS1 games because it was easier than writing it all down to take to my bedroom to use them!

    Those were the days. All human knowledge (1.2 MB) easily fit on a 3.5 inch floppy boi.
