Does anybody remember when The Internet was an icon on your desktop?

Sure, it’s older than Windows 95, but this icon represents the 'net as an opt-in experience. It had not yet become a non-stop drip feed of anguish and arousal to your brain. You could still log off.

Good times 😁

@benjedwards I mean... You can still log off. Just unplug your router. Depending on your OS, many things will still work. :) Updates probably won't. Installing new software probably won't, but you could still pop open a text editor and program as long as you don't need stackoverflow.
