This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

BackInMyDay.jpg we used the net for looking stuff up. Mozilla 1.0 was faster than gopher and something something altavista web crawler grey hair getOffMyLawn.gif

But it was a special time, back at the uni in 92 and using the 56k link (!!) to play muds/moos on a server in f'n Bosnia. Or read the MTG mailing list. Uh, I mean, do class work. No commercial things even on there really. Before Amazon, Google, Myspace, etc.

~Life~ Internet was so simple back then. None with all these fancy gadgets and instantaneous loading of ~~porn~~ images and videos! Just living in the moment, being patient to wait for your favourite Internet material to load for 2 hours!
