I had one of those internet directory magazines, naturally I flipped straight to the porn section.
I can't believe you use to be able to surf the web in only 8 Megabytes.


You could do with less than 8 Megs as well. I dont remember how much memory I had in it, but after hours of setup strugle I got my A500 on the net.  It was upgraded to kickstart 2 and had a harddrive. AmiTCP, ALynx and Amosaic, dont remember the dialing program. I think I also did softkick it to 3.0 at some point to run OS3 for getting more modern browsers to run. And the 14.4k modem was quite fast at the time:)
Spent lots of time at newsgroups at the time.
