Victoria’s Secret catalogue was in my spank bank.

Same. As a teen in a repressive cult, I’d steal em from the mail I picked up and hide em under the sinks cabinet (for some reason there was a slight space. Couldn’t see even if you looked, but you could feel around and be able to grab it).

I regret to inform you that the internet was alive and well in 1989. I can personally attest to downloading dirty pictures from newsgroups, even if the larger ones required multiple pieces and we had to clip the headers and concatenate the files. The online guitar archive for tablature was also available and 100% free.

http://info.cern.ch/ still works.
also, what is this image, for people with cranked necks?
Yes. Also me trying to take a legible picture of an old fashioned book.
The huge resolution made the image load in slowly, which really brought back memories of old internet. Thanks.
while it’s not a meme, I think the netizens of !antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world would appreciate seeing this, or anything else from this book.
thank you for sharing this stuff
Lol. Maybe I’ll scan the chapter when I get a chance. Until then enjoy another page.
I’m still sad that olga.net was taken offline. I’m also surprised that this was twenty years ago. For me one of the first signs that corporations were ruining the internet. (after Napster, but that was quickly replaced with other dubious software).
I literally haven’t thought about olga in 20 years, dang0
Look how happy they are, this is how we won the (first) cold war. Take that, Kruschev!
