@jwz I remember when the Internet was this, the dancing baby, and a bunch of ultra-tasteless-and-racist Taliban memes. And you could moderate your exposure by just... not dialing in. Just stay offline and putter around in Visual Basic or the Flight Simulator scenery editor. Maybe one of the new SNES emulators that can kinda play commercial games, or ZZT if you were feeling old-school.
Good times.
