@zachariastargazer Hmm...Nah. Orbital Friendship Cannon control stolen. You can have it back when you can use it responsibly. *aims at David Cameron*

@zachariastargazer I was bored in the early nineties, but then I found a Multi User Dungeon. Then, Al Gore invented the Internet and Walmart closed the local BBS and AOL took over the news. Then, I broke down and got an ISP and installed the WWW after the MUD got a website. It is at Realmsofdespair.com ... but mush is 20% cooler than mud, and you can alleviate any boredom at the Dawn of Equestria.

@zachariastargazer Al Gore invented the Internet. CERN is the Apache that created the first web server, but web servers were pretty lame before AOL put Firefox, the Netscape Navigator in everyone's snail mail inbox.

@fnordly AOL was the China of the early internet though. I never liked them. Admittedly, I was born during their heyday, so I don't have much perspective.

@musicssound AOL and Windows and Al Gore are three sides of the same coin. Haters love to hate on them, but we couldn't have done it (2012) without them. Though the old j/k about Gore creating the internet is almost unfunny, I was amazed to find some write-ups by some of the programmers that could be more appropriately accredited as the inventors that made it all happen. They said that Al was the One that was petitioning the powers that be to put the money and legislation in place so that we can play with these ideas which ended up being the Internet that we use, today.

@fnordly This brings me to my original point. Before the September that never ended (1993), we still had boredom and different games to play. Back then, Zelda was a two-player head-to-head shoot-em-up, and joysticks were made for more manly hands, and Twitter was just a channel on the Undernet, and Facebook was decentralized and distributed over hundreds of different types of mud.
