I did a bunch of school works when google didn't yet exist. It was a wild ride searching obscure sites and finding information in green webpages with lots of blinking texts and colors. Had to borrow the 5 cds encyclopaedia from a friend to get any historical information for some works. Wikipedia was barely starting and having info there for some things was amazing.
Damn days of downloading a random mp3 file 128kpbs quality of 3.4 MBs that took 1 or 2 days with computer turned on all night long.
