All I can say is cool. I checked the pages they were talking about on 'take me back', I think that has to do with the changes on a home page.

Anyways, being able to get a 5mb file to download in under a second is pretty hard to beat, unless you have optical or a T1 direct line.

I guess you could pretty much do that today when the timing is right.

It still takes me a couple seconds for a 3mb download, which is much better than back in '95 when it took me 30 minutes for anything over a 1mb file with dial-up.

Hell, in 1993(4?) I remember having PC AOL (AOL for DOS!!!) and connecting at 2400bps. A 1MB file would take an hour or so to download!!

also, don't hate....AOL was my only form of the "internet" for about 2 years before we finally got a local dial-up provider in town. edit: It's now defunct, but it was http://www.evansvilleonline.com/, which is still an active domain and tells a little history of my hometown Factoid: A scene from "A league of their own" was shot at the ballpark in town that was host to the Detroit Tigers AAA club which was called the Evansville Triplets - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evansville_Triplets Unfortunately, the team was moved in 1985 to Nashville after being bought out.

I think it was finally around 1994 when AOL finally released an integrated web-browser into their windows software.
