Anyone remember this screen?
The mountain lion wallpaper, the grey taskbar, the green Start button, My Computer, Network Neighborhood—and the excitement of clicking “The Internet.”
This was the 1990s, when computers felt mysterious and every new discovery was exciting. We waited patiently for dial-up internet, saved files on floppy disks, and celebrated when a webpage finally loaded.
Technology was slower then, but somehow life felt simpler. Today, we have AI, cloud computing and instant access to almost everything—but this image reminds me where our digital journey began.
If you remember this era, connect with me—and take me back to the 1990s. What is your strongest computer memory from that time?
