Love the hair styles and the jungle soundtrack. Coming from BBS&#x27;s, the web and IRC blew my mind.<p>I wish I could find my old geocities page now. I&#x27;m sure it had a few transparent gif explosions on it.

I wanna feel superior about how none of those television people knew how to pronounce @, but to be honest I didn&#x27;t know that in 1995 either.<p>To be fair, I was 9 and didn&#x27;t know any other words in English either.

I remember thinking &#x27;how quaint&#x27; while watching that, then suddenly realising that it all happened only a year before I started my current software consulting business!<p>Interesting to see that T1 was quite expensive back then even in NYC. I clearly remember in 1996 getting one of the first ISDN connections in the country - $1000&#x2F;month for a whopping 128KB connection in the days of 33.6KB dial up. Ah, the memories...

<i>They didn’t plan for ventilation for all the hardware, so they cooled the server room with a garbage can full of ice!</i><p>In the video, he said they had no money for it, but that is quite possibly the most expensive way to cool a server.

My favorite Internet cafe of old was &quot;EasyEverything&quot; (from the EasyJet guy) -- huge cafes and great PXEboot resetting machines, so they were relatively free of malware. Pretty far ahead of its time.

The memory this sparked in me was of the great old Speakeasy cafe in Seattle, which opened circa &#x27;94&#x2F;&#x27;95:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.historylink.org&#x2F;File&#x2F;3300" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.historylink.org&#x2F;File&#x2F;3300</a>

The CyberSmith Cafe in Harvard Square was pretty epic! VR rigs, specially designed ceiling mounted downward firing speaker setups so you could hear full stereo for your game while your neighbor heard his and not yours, ordering food&#x2F;drink from the computer, and so on.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;1995&#x2F;07&#x2F;03&#x2F;business&#x2F;waiter-oh-waiter-excuuuse-me-but-there-s-a-mouse-in-my-coffee.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;1995&#x2F;07&#x2F;03&#x2F;business&#x2F;waiter-oh-waiter-...</a>

Watching this made me nostalgic for world.std.com, in Boston -- that was many folks&#x27; first dialup ISP.

They paid $9k&#x2F;month for a T1 in 1995, in NYC? Sounds very high. Either that or my reference point of paying $3k&#x2F;month for a full T1 in 1994 in a small Wisconsin city is low.<p>Anybody have more numbers from that era?

I thought the hippest spot in &#x27;95 was Cyberdelia <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cyberdelianyc.tumblr.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cyberdelianyc.tumblr.com&#x2F;</a>
