The Norm Classics by Michael Jantze for August 22, 2021

Dusty stuff! Gates; and MS-DOS- sure, but Andreessen & Jobs? Don’t know which products either of them sold that weren’t ready at launch.

DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING HE SAYS

He has an aol address.

+1 for the chickens. Remember when 28,800 chickens was something to crow about? Apropos of nothing, I wonder what Hayes is doing today.

Oh this is awesome! I haven’t thought about Archie in a long time. Sheesh! Good stuff. :-)

My GF used to love it when I did Gopher searches because the Gopher icon would do its little dance.

I feel old. I feel very very (very) old.

Which one was Norm’s favorite? Archie, Jughead, or Veronica? ……..since we are all dating ourselves………..and my still working Tandy T-1000

Betty was mine

Wow, I haven’t thought about Usenet in ages.

LOL (see what I did there), today’s strip is now your grandfathers’ Internet :>)

…and I’m guessing that menu bar is MacOS 5 or 6. Still have the old SE on the hobby bench to run a Hypercard program.

This is just a funny flashback!

Why, oh why does this make me feel old? But it’s really funny. Should be included in “The New Hacker’s Dictionary”!

Man. I knew three people who were in Netscape at its start. They did very very well in the IPO. I wonder if the one still has one side of his head shaved all these years later. One of the others was broad-sided by a cement truck on vacation in Italy a few years later. RIP Phil and his wife.
