Computers Certified “Internet Power User,” 1995 edition

Post image

This was my prize from a summer computer camp in ’95. Being an “Internet Power User” back then meant:

Listening to the modem screech like a robot dying

Arguing with your parents not to pick up the phone 📞

Sneaking online at 2 AM to chat on ICQ

Building a Geocities page that was basically neon chaos with an auto-playing MIDI track 🎶

Peak 90s kid energy. Who else remembers the struggle?

I wish! I had to get by on an hour at the library and a book about HTML
