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 what happened when you clicked on The Internet? (I vaguely remember when Windows looked like that but my earliest memories of "going online" involve Netscape)

@benjedwards @sofiav If you didn't have an ISP, I remember that it had some stuff for finding dialup ISPs in some versions of windows?
