The Horrors Of The Dancing Baby
"Maybe I missed it, but I don’t see anyone mentioning the dancing baby??? He was so creepy! My mom was stunned that technology could create something “so lifelike” and was obsesssssed. I miss the program I had to create ‘storybooks’, it let you edit the stickers and recolor everything, clicking tiny little pixel boxes for hours Clickclickclick"

And BBS's you could dial into, which were like far tinier versions of the Internet. More a local system with text games, files to download, message boards, quite a few other things.

The corporate take over of the internet. I so agree. The best part was no popup ads or tracking.

#18 your modem had nothing to do with your sound, if you changed your dial string to have S25=0 it would mute it.
