    I don’t remember it that way. To me, it was a minefield of viruses, popup ads, chain mail, and unexpected extreme NFSW content.

    What, you don’t want to punch the monkey and also have 50,000 pop-up and pop-under windows spawn because you picked the wrong link?
    Also, accidentally discovering that python[.]com was NOT where one went to download the scripting language back around 2006, while trying to help a student get her laptop setup. It’s still not, but that’s not how I wanted to learn that fact.
