What If "24" Were Set in 1994?
Hat Tip: Doug
Rated PG. Worth watching for anyone who remembers -- truly remembers -- life in 1994.

What do you think, was he getting 2400 baud on that puppy? Nina's right, though, when you pay for internet my the hour your disconnect ASAP.

OMG that was funny!

Hysterical!

Ha ha, my favorite one was:
"How big is it?"
"3 Floppy's"
"*gasp*"
and
"George, you picked up the line while I was on the internet!"

The dialtone! Hahahahahaha! I thought I'd never hear that sound again!
HILARIOUS!

Jack should have had his data stored on the large capacity, yet portable "Bernoulli Disk". 10 full MEGA bytes of data on an easy to carry 8" floppy disk in a 8-1/2" x 11" hard case. Amazing technology! The bad guys would have to get pretty close to him to know it's tucked in his satchel.
Did I hear Duran Duran in the background?

Love it.

Ah, the advantage of age! That was funny. I remember that doubling the computer memory from 32k to 64k was a happy day indeed! And Prairienet? Saw the world with Prairinet - well, read the world; couldn't "see" it until later! Now if they could just get treadmill gaming refined and affordable! Or maybe it's here already and I am behind the times!

This video is so funny, my favorite part was hes got total control of our geocities page hahahaah that's so oldschool.

However, I must question a mainframe running Windows 3.1 (or even 3.11 which is more 1994 appropriate). And if I remember right, AOL, Prodigy & Compuserve were by the minute. :-)
Of you want to see a page that truly hasn't changed since 1994, visit my alma mater (http://www.math.niu.edu). It is a really 1994 flash back.

oh boy!! That was something absolutely amazing! What a technology and all. Talking via messenger when "damnet George! you picked up phones through the internet" a nice boss come and start talking on the phone shutting the internet connection temporarily just in the middle of important conversation with "super" agent xD :DDD

That modem sound was not 2400. Sounded like the start of a 28800 handshake. To this I like to add I haven't heard a modem in over 10 years. XD
