    is the internet so fat and wasted these days..?

    junk and more junk for such a thing that started off sooo cool.

    i tried to use dial up the other day. funny thing was i was able to access older sites that are mostly text based and have simple images relatively fast.

    thinking about this, i have a collection of old laptops, 486-pIII era and old g3/g4 computers and even using them on modern sites almost locks them up as
    the browsers dont support the newer standards HTML video, PHP etc..

    thing was when i loaded older sites even on ethernet or wifi connections on these old computers worked fine no lock ups or seizures from big fat web scripts.

    watching videos online these days for most older PowerPC macs (pre g4) is basically not supported even for win 9x systems

    has the internet just become a big slab of garbage too heavy for my old computer to handle? or do i like many who are completely nostalgic about the early days of the internet and online services need to let go of our
    dinosaurs? haha


    right now i am writing this on my powerbook G4, still my every day computer

    do any of you still have older stuff you use on the regular?
