      No. It’s the Chromebook/iPad generation. I feel like they don’t truly understand the Internet or computers. Having used Windows 98 and onward, my friends and I had to really learn to troubleshoot and learn the innards of the system. Nowadays, everyone is in a protective shell like Chrome OS, iOS or Android. It’s all dumbed down now. Simplicity isn’t always good imo

      Edit: Windows was a gateway drug into Linux

      Then start plotting buy/sell points for bitcoin and GME (don’t want to risk forgetting those over the next 15-25 years)

    Boot up my dad’s computer and play some shareware off the magazine cover disk I got months ago.

    Or go to the library I guess.

      I was probably playing Cannon Fodder at that time on our computer.

    Go online, just like I did back then. I’ve been online before the web. And it was more fun. And no ads.

      I didn’t go online when I first woke up. I often though would check see how my downloads did overnight. In 95 I was still using the local collage dial in.

          For a time around 1998-2000 I ran the internet connection for a multi county agency on one 56k dial up and squid proxy server. It worked and it worked pretty well. We did however love it when the local cable company finally rolled out two way cable internet.

    I’d walk out to the street then light me up that cigarette and strap shoes on my feet.

    I’d probably try to find a reason where everything went wrong. I’d really like to find a reason why my money is all gone.

    Boot up my 486, call over my friends and play MK1

    Alternatively make some new M:TG decks using my new Ice Age booster packs and head to the FLGS

    Try to find that cool looking Beavis and Butthead site I saw my brother browsing in the earliest days of our internet access. I had asked him where he found it and he couldn’t remember, so I searched and searched and searched to no avail. I never found that Beavis and Butthead site. I just remember there was a lot of yellow.

      Apparently there was an official Beavis and Butt-Head site hosted by MTV in the 90’s. I didn’t find any archives but there is a screenshot of it on the Web Design Museum. Not sure if it’s the same one because there isn’t a whole lot of yellow though.

        I run a couple of services. A blog for my partner, a media server (farfetched but certainly possible in 1995), as well as a matrix server.

        I’m certain I’d be doing similar things in 1995. Based on my personality there’s no way I wouldn’t have gotten into that type of computing.
