Bluhalo's Top Ten Retro Memories
1. The horrible dial up internet noise – bi-dong bi-dong!
2. Animated gifs - smiley faces, animated flags, the road sign and the man digging...lol
3. IRC (internet relay chat)
4. Google in 1996!

5. The Dot Com crash….(Lastmintute.com the last to get all the cash! The crash of http://www.boo.com/ )

6. Plenty of blink and marquee html tags, "this site is under construction" - probably with a gif of a guy digging - everywhere was 'Under Construction'!
7. The Java script clock on website (JavaScript: browser took time from local computers) - then broke in the millennium, all the website javascript clocks went wrong!
8. Mosaic browser, the first free browser for the world wide web as it was always called then.
9. http://www.geocities.com/, if you wanted a free web page, you did it here...remember bourbon street?
10. In 1995, whatever you searched for a porn site came up!
