  • I remember e-mail providers having low storage, maybe 1MB max and getting e-mails frequently deleted by said providers after not logging in after a certain time.

    Using MSN and yahoo chat rooms were a fun way to meet people. I remember there being rooms on Yahoo (were they called conferences?) just for people to have singing sessions.

    Locally, almost everyone with a computer and dialup had MSN messenger installed, so plenty chatting with classmates after school on there.

    I vaguely remember being subscribed to yahoo groups for fan and local interests. They were a good way to be kept informed.

    Surfing the web was fun. I never knew what I would find next.

    Oh and Neopets.
