Chat Rooms, Chaos, and Crashing the Family PC - The Internet's First Steps
Description
Welcome to Episode 23 of Old Mates New Laughs! This week, we log back into the wild world of the early internet, back when you had to ask your mum to hang up the phone so you could go online.
Join Brendan, Andy, and Mike as they remember the pixelated glory days of MSN Messenger, illegal LimeWire downloads, and dodgy chat room confessions. From the screech of dial-up to sneaky sessions at internet cafés, it’s all here in full nostalgic glory.
Expect chaotic stories, questionable tech decisions, and a few “How did we survive this?” moments. Whether you were a Neopets addict or got stuck in the Ask Jeeves rabbit hole, this episode is one big virtual throwback.
Log in, laugh loud, and join us next week when we explore the rise of the digital age and the early days of social media in Episode 24: Logging On For Life.
