How Internet era in 1996

In those days it was all a luxury to navigate 14.400bps (so that we understand, this is the marvelous speed of 0.0137 "megas"). The best databases are accessible only through "Telnet" and "Gopher".

As for the chat (IRC), was a place where you could really learn and enriquecerte, not a meat market and vanalidad. Something would have to see that the Internet was only available to academics and some who could afford the monthly payments of 10,000 pesetas, plus the time of connection.

Using the service offered archive.org I rescued some "jewels". Do not miss the innovative design deApple, Olé (the best search engine so far, bought and subsequently abandoned by Terra), and the look of Nic.es when a domain. Is it was all a luxury.
