Firstly, why does everyone in this town use Altavista?

Netscape Navigator was the big rival to internet Explorer in the 90s.

Those with an AOL account had a completely different front end on their Internet Experience.

Oh, and geocities. Kind of like the clunkiest possible implementation of connecting people on the internet, via personal webpages that were grouped into streets by interest. Webrings worked similarly: webpages on a particular topic could link with others and display a webring widget that allowed visitors to find related content.

Basically they were an attempt at social networking without the live factor, or interactivity (unless Guest Books count!) or hashtag or other search mechanisms.

I've always favoured Netscape Navigator as it seems to perform better on my x386 machine.

Mother uses Tor for some reason which I am at a loss to understand.

Yeah C64 user here too. I always felt I'd won the technology battle against Sinclair users, but then they had all the best games.

Can't wait for big businesses and Governments to start paying Microsoft even more money to continue support it, making developers lives miserable for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, they did have some cracking games but so did the C64 and the whole experience was just, simply better.
