Here's some magic words to get you misty eyed: Netscape Navigator and Trumpet Winsock.
Bleep bleep whirr bing blip blip. I still miss that dial-up modem sound. It was the equivalent of a car engine turning over and firing. The beginning of a journey somewhere and you'd never be the same person afterwards.
Atavista... jeez I'd forgotten it even existed. I just went and checked and it still herds over to Yahoo. I think I recall the first time it did that... Probably because it was the last time I used it.

Compuserve. That's where I started in the early nineties. Loved that modem. And when I upgraded to a 14,400 modem - wow! Such speed.
I have a friend who still has an AOL email... I remember those postal mail CD campaigns.
Bulletin boards? Webcrawler was my favorite search engine...
Old Skoooool!
