  1. Thanks for the blast past from the past.

    I was thinking the other day that I need to put up my 1994 prototype for what an online newspaper would look like on a server somewhere. I’ve got to find that floppy disk. And then a floppy drive…

  2. Wow 94 didn’t seem like all that long ago until I watched this clip. Thanks for the nostalgia. We’ve come a long way baby!

  3. pretty entertaining. Especially for us information super highway old-timers 😉

    makes you wonder how we’ll look at a web 2.0 video in 10 years…I’m guessing a “mash-up” will illicit the kind of snickering as that “world wide mall” comment.

  4. It is very nostalgic and highly accurate in its predictions. The voice talent sounds like John O’Hurley who played J. Peterman in the Seinfeld series. Anyone want to make book?
