remember waiting 4 minutes for one pic to load?
i built it back. two 1996 computers that dial into a simulated online service. real modem sounds, busy signals, a chat room, and pages.

i missed the old internet, so i built a 1996 chat room.
not servers. not channels. a room. you walk in, strangers are mid-conversation about a tape deck, somebody says "a/s/l" unironically.
no account, no app, no algorithm. just pick a screen name and go. Late Night is best after eleven.

I missed the old internet. The wait, the noise, the feeling of going somewhere.
So I rebuilt it: a 1997 family computer that runs in your browser. #buildinpublic
