3G Internet access feels in many ways like a time-tunnel to the first times I connected to the Internet. Only then it was only a FirstClass BBS and emails were sent to and collected from the ‘real Internet’ only twice a day. If I remember correctly.

My first run in with Netscape was not a happy one, largely due to my otherwise quite nice but visually handicapped Mac SE/30. Blazing fast (for the time), but only black and white, which meant that half of the Internet was dark for me. And thanks to these 17 pages I was forced to look at the source codes more closely.

Back to now. 3G Modem Access, troubles logging, bad images. Very much like a time machine. Another side-effect of this provider-side compressing is, that it literary takes the gloss off all the images; and produces very nice visual artefacts, which I thought went extict quite some time ago.

But of course my first reaction was, that Google was celebrating their 10th birthday by turning the time back on their logotype. But I guess that’s no it.

The room was filled, the silence deafening.
