Where were you 13 years ago? If you've been on the net as long as I have, you probably would recognize one of these things:
1. First prepaid ISPs in the country: PLDT's Infocom and Philweb (100 pesos for 3 hours)
2. Yahoo Messenger. Just kidding. Try ICQ and Yahoo Pager
3. Yahoo Chat, javascript style
4. BobongPinoy.Com (fuck yeah)
5. Anime Web Turnpike (AniPike)
6. Real Media plugins
7. Shockwave plugins being more popular than Flash
8. A non-yahoo geocities that gave you a city-like URL.
9. State of the art 28kbps modems
10. LOTS AND LOTS OF SCROLLING MARQUEE IN LARGE FONTS AND BRIGHT COLOURS
11. Edsamail
12. E-groups, E-circles for mass mailing.
13. Enhanced "media" content - in the form of animated GIFs and MIDIs
On the flipside, here are the things that haven't changed:
1. Filipinos who lurk other national channels in chat.
2. Gay anime fanfiction
3. Free porn
