hated itAs a child, tried to load the Beano website on a Macintosh Performa from '95. It froze the system (admittedly that happened on average every half hour on that machine but this was instant failure rather than random). After three or so more restarts and attempts to load it I decided the internet was rubbish and went into school the next day telling everyone it would never ever be worth using in case one of them tried, succeeded and got to look cooler than me
We had that piece of anthrax up until 2001, judging by what i've heard about the model it had been cobbled together from spares and had been technically obsolete before it was brought. It wasn't until i first discovered Runescape *cringe* many years later that the internet was forgiven
