Heh, "early internet feels" for me would be #NCSA Mosaic and/or accessing the web through telnet on DOS and a 1200-baud modem. XD

A collection of image processing software and example files. Some familiar apps here like NIH Image, and some non-graphic related ones like NCSA Telnet, archivers and Disinfectant.

@pathfinder @Energetic_Nova @autistics There's even an impulse toward #filicide in these "severe autism" groups, that occasionally surfaces openly. They released a ghastly film in 2006 called "Autism Every Day", in which #AlisonSinger — who has occupied prominent roles in both #AutismSpeaks (which released the film) and #NCSA — admitted to fantasies of driving off a bridge with her #autistic daughter.

@Energetic_Nova @pathfinder @autistics I do indeed believe we need better subtyping of autism. My theory of #kaleidotropy is an effort in that direction. But we're unlikely to get anything good from the #NCSA crowd. Their quest for the "causes of autism" is a search-and-destroy mission. They want to find a way to prevent any more of us from being born. Secondarily, they want to show that our autism is not "severe" so we don't merit any help.

@pathfinder @autistics I even think that's why certain neurotypical biomedical scientists, and their allies of the stripe of #AutismSpeaks and the National Council on Severe Autism (#NCSA), spend so much effort "feigning hypotheses" as to the "causes of autism": they aren't willing to accept our existence without first reductively pathologizing us as the product of some identifiable genetic defect.

Heh, oops!
I was starting to think one of the MSDOS programs I use had broken somehow... Turns out it was wattcp.cfg had become outdated.😞

This summer, for the first time in 15+ years, the default state of my main server has been "off" rather than "on" and it can't be my local nameserver if it's off!

Humm, NCSA telnet is probably broken too, and I wouldn't notice because all my local hosts are specified in it's config file...

Anyone has screenshot of NCSA Mosaic running on windows, MacOS 7 and on say Dec Alpha?
