Wired

[SpuffMonkey]

Been clearing out the garage and came across a big box of Wired mags from the mid 90s - what an exciting and innocent world we lived in then - when a new modem was worth a double page colour advertising spread and the articles speculate on how great it would be if we could order stuff over the net and have it delivered straight to us!! Wow!! Also a nice piece on how they reckon China might be a big player soon, and HotBot is the big new search engine - bless!

 

Also in the box a load of Omni mags from even earlier - sometimes I love my horder instincts - pity I missed peak pricing with the collection of 2000AD comics though :-(

lol the days of 14.4k and 28.8k live again ! Good old USR ruling the roost there when I first went online.

 

Our school at the time had a 28.8k USR that our IT teacher had a line for in his room
