I wonder how many of the links in this book are still active...
None? Maybe?

I recently discovered, through the Wayback Machine, a couple of articles about the Internet that I wrote for a printed boating magazine in Mallorca, Spain, which I later published on my website around 1996 or 1997. I hope you enjoy reading them.

A screenshot of the UK Department of Transport website as it appeared in 1997. The page features a minimalist, retro design with a light blue and white colour scheme. At the top left, a stylised logo depicting a road or runway sits beside the text "THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT". A narrow navigation column on the right-hand side lists various categories such as "Aviation", "Marine", "Rail", "Road Network", and "Road Safety". In the centre of the page, an instruction reads: "Click on an item on the right hand panel to access further information". The bottom of the screen displays five colourful icons for "What's New", "Search", "Press Releases", "Administration", and "Links".

A screenshot of the London Transport homepage from around 1996. The page has a red left sidebar with the roundel logo and links for Home, What's new, Site map, Search, and Contacts. In the centre, there's a blue silhouette of London landmarks including St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, a red double-decker Routemaster bus, and a Tube train. The main heading reads 'Welcome to the London Transport home page' in red cursive font, followed by a request to fill out a feedback questionnaire. Below are links to sections like LT museum, FAQs, press centre, and charters & strategy, shown as blue dots on a line. At the bottom are MSN 'Pick of the Day' and Yell's Top 10 badges, plus a note that the site is designed to be viewed using Netscape 1.2 or above, with Netscape Now and Microsoft Internet Explorer logos.

Be honest… who else remembers the sound of the dial-up modem connecting? That series of screeching, beeping handshakes meant you were about to get online, even if it took five minutes and tied up the phone line. 💾📞 #DialUp #90sInternet
MSN Gaming Zone was wild, one minute it’s Age of Empires II, the next it’s backgammon clans dropping the banhammer for conspiracy chatter. Truly a lawless frontier.

💿 You weren’t a real 90s kid unless your bedroom ceiling rained AOL CDs in the middle of the night.
Yes, that actually happened.
AOL dial-up is shutting down after 34 years.
Pour one out. 🥲

🖥️ Throwback to when ESPN's website looked like this 👀 Do you remember the early days of sports on the web? Simpler times, slower load speeds. 😂

A grainy, low-resolution image of a person sitting at a desk using an old desktop computer with a CRT monitor. They are wearing a loose-fitting t-shirt and light-colored pants, with headphones on their head. They look toward the camera with a slight smile. The desk is cluttered with various items, including a keyboard and other computer peripherals. A lamp with a tilted shade stands in the background. The image appears to be a photograph of a screen displaying a paused video, as indicated by visible scan lines and distortions.
A person taking a selfie in an elevator, holding a smartphone with both hands. They have a shaved head with vibrant blue hair on top and wear large, over-ear headphones, distinctive cat-eye glasses, and a bright blue scarf. Their nails are painted blue, matching their hair and scarf. They are dressed in a black denim jacket over a black top and a long skirt with a striped pattern. An orange backpack is visible on their shoulders. The elevator's metallic walls reflect the lighting, creating a sleek, modern background. This is the same person as in the previous photo, approximately 30 years later.
Here's sad, shy me in 1995 writing a diary post for my online journal (yes, really) on my Packard Bell computer. For context, here's also me from yesterday, rocking EVERYTHING. GOD I LOVE GETTING OLDER.

What is a memory you have about AOL Instant Messenger?
Like did you have a chat with a friend or a chat room that changed your life, or was just something that made a core memory for you?

A screeshot of the loading screen from Netscape Navigator 4.0 depicting a pixelated image of a sailing ship wheel and the netscape logo.
I'm trying to find a screenshot of the loading screen for Netscape Navigator 2 (ideally for Windows). Does anyone know if it even had one? I can't seem to find it emulated anywhere.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about from Version 4. Am I searching for the right term?
