Ah yes waiting 3-5 minutes for a single NSFW pic to load and print in my apartment clubhouse while hiding my computer screen and hoping nobody else entered the computer lab so I could check the print jobs......

Fun times in middle and early high school years

It still does tbh

The tech was so new back then but all of the features in that browser window are still common and it's amazing how developers had the foresight to include all of that so early. Early internet tech as well as 80s-90s games that required a ton of clever programming to cram as much stuff as possible into kilobytes of space has always been impressive to me

Ya, watching the 5% of whatever K loading is funny.
I remember my harddrive in highschool was less then half a MG.

Having said that, Remember GEOS? From back in the Commodore days?
Now that was something.

Sadly, the actual reasons (read: screenshots) are broken.

That bar at the bottom with the loading thing going from left and right and the details beside it saying how much has loaded just gave me a bad feeling when I seen it. I had forgotten all about sitting watching that not move, things freeze, realising the site probably wasn't loading. All this after having to tell the whole family I was going online and to not use the phone.

I would begin loading a 30-60 second NSFW clip in the background, whack it to pics, then once the clip was finally done loading, finish to it.
