I too miss the '90s. The modem connection sound. The ANSI arts. The BBS communities packaging together online games, forum, and files download. Lord, BRE and Death Master. Fidonet.
The Internet was clearly the superior technology and the future because of global connectivity but something was lost. You no longer was part of something bigger than you, but still not so big you were meaningless. My 386 not being overkill anymore. Webpages taking forever to load. Pointless Flash animation and butt ugly GIF. "Punch the monkey to win". And I discovered Internet just in time to see Gopher and Usenet die so I feel like I never experienced it when it was fresh.
