Sometimes I get nostalgic for the earlier days of the internet, when everything was really just first setting off, at least from my point of view. Pages that were so new around the year 2000 are now shells of history floating around on the internet between fancy flash sites and .php and so many others. Don't get me wrong, I think the progress is great, especially since pages nowadays are generally easier on the eyes and clear to navigate. For example, back then, blogging would have been considerably more arduous, especially if I wanted to add special graphics to my page.

Still. I can't be the only who smiles when she remembers things like embedded midi, can I? And HTML before any of its extra add-ons? Even tiled backgrounds.

Ah well. I suppose you can't stay in the same place for ever. But it was glorious while it lasted, wasn't it? So much potential in our hands and we had no idea.
