Things were different in my day
Those were the days. All this were fields of "under construction" animated GIFs. None of that MyFace or Spacebook or this new-fangled twattering whatchamacallit. Back then blogs were still called journals and were happy with that.

And what about this JavaScript remoting gubbins? When I were a lad we used JavaScript to change an image when you moved your mouse over it. I remember the first time I saw that; I giggled like a loon. Height of sophistication that were. Scrolling marquees and MIDi music in the background. We were trailblazers, we were.

Back in my day we didn't have the complicated CSS-based layout stylings. We had to use frames, and sometimes we didn't have them. I remember when my dear daddy said "son, what I wouldn't give for a browser that supports frames." Fat chance getting one of those on a 28.8K modem. How we'd lust over those ISDN lines. I remember this one time father let me look at a picture of an ISDN modem. Such joy!

Tch! Kids today. Don't know they're born.

pictures? you had pictures?
we used to *dream* about being able to look at a picture - and not in colour mind, we could only afford to dream in black-and-white.

Black and white?
I would have given my right arm for black and white. All we had were black, and sometimes we didn't even have that!
