I also remember when:
We hand-coded layouts using html tables.
“View Source” was the best way to learn HTML.
Your homepage had a hit counter — and you checked it.
Dreamweaver made you feel unstoppable.
The “webmaster” email address was sacred.
There was always a guy with a ZIP disk.
SourceForge was where all the cool projects lived.
The build server was just someone’s PC under their desk.
Visual SourceSafe was state of the art.
Code comments included your initials and the date.
You debugged by printing to the console.
Booting Windows 95 made you hum the Rolling Stones.
The Start menu felt like the future.
MSN Messenger was always open.
You’d leave the PC on overnight just to finish a Napster download.
You set your homepage to Excite, Lycos, or Yahoo — and stuck with it.
What do you remember?
