I lived in NYC for a year between 1996 and 1997. It was a great place to live then. I had 2 roommates and we had full time internet. Through my Panix account?

I lived in NYC for a year between 1996 and 1997. It was a great place to live then. I had 2 roommates and we had full time internet. Through my Panix account? We had a LAN and played Diablo, Quake, etc. locally and online. I bought a DVD player for $600 because I hated VHS. I flew to Europe and Mexico around that time. Don’t remember flights being too expensive. Personally, I’ve always been disappointed about how incredibly slowly the world changes.
