back when the web was a great, magical and most of all, free place and we would get real pleasure browsing it to escape reality instead of it being our inescapable reality like it is today

Thanks for watching, Constantinos! No need to be sad though. Look at the bright side. Now we don't have pay to for the dial up phonecall's duration and we get to surf and use the telephone at the same time! :-)

​@@MrComputerRetro Hello,I´m curious at Ghostwriter´s tv series,here in the story Who is Max Mouse? they write in blue screens with nothing on them, you can see they don´t use mouse either. They have a modem,so there is Internet .Example at 7:47: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6J6l8OmfMiwkdY.html.Then in episode 4 where they play some games:kzread.info/dash/bejne/pXt229qQYrWZmLQ.html.I´m very curious at the system they use for computers.Is it Nestcape?.But not sure,12:55, you can see them chatting and then playing games:.kzread.info/dash/bejne/pXt229qQYrWZmLQ.html.BTW all 4 episodes are very cool XD.Well all this series XD.

what a nostalgia trip

Mosaic: I used to rule the world. Chrome: Ok grandpa

Oh, good memories from where I wasn't even alive.

How did you simulate old internet? I can imagine this is some kind of sandbox interfacing with webarchive, but since it seems so seamless would like to know more

Hello! Thanks for watching. The websites were reconstructed with parts from various sources (mostly webarchive) and are served from one of the computers in my LAN. I can see the word "AROS" on your avatar. If it's referring to the Amiga OS, I have a similar video on my channel which I think you're going to like! It shows browsing 50+ Amiga related websites of the 90s with the Amiga!

This is great stuff. Music gets better after 5 mins

Como que esse canal não tem mais de 100k de inscritos, bem interessante, eu sempre quis saber como era surfar na net naquela época.

I’m only 20 but sadly I grew up in a rural area and had dial up until 2013 lol, so half the websites used to load in like text base versions looked a lot like these websites.

Wow, my friends have telling about "surfing the web" is that what this is? I can't wait to go explore the world wide web!

a lot of work thanks

What timing, 2 days ago I powered up an old G3 iMac I had and tried to see what, if anything, I could access on the internet. Google was mostly usable, but even the internet archive was pretty broken. Looks like you put a lot of time into this, very cool!

Nice! My girlfriend had a G3 back then. Indeed the archive has parts missing or wrong in many cases. Anyway, glad you like it, thanks for watching!

I remember turning off JPG's to search Netscape because it took too long to download graphics. Dial-Up 64K Modem was way too slow back then.

Y'know, I'm glad to have found you on my homepage, although I kinda wish you shown your face more in the channel. (I just mean your character)

28:51 The way you paid for stuff on eBay was by messaging the seller after winning the auction, getting their postal address, and mailing a paper check to them.

What’s the song for 20:15?

Simple amazing!

It would not be a proper Mosaic experience unless the pages took about 100 times slower to load.

@@KingFahtah In 1984, it was 50kbps (predecessor). In 1986, it then went to 56kbps at the National Science Foundation. In 1991 the NSFNET jacked it up to 45 mbps, followed in 1994 when NSFNET when to 145mbps, although when the world wide web came into being in 1993, dial-up access was limited to 56kbps.

It was definitely better when you needed a functional brain to connect to Internet...

Kind of painful to watch
