90s kids rejoice: Web browser that no one uses makes a really cool commercial

Internet Explorer ad tugs at heartstrings of Gen-Y users



Whether you love or hate Internet Explorer, you've got to admit that some of its ads are pretty good.

Microsoft's latest IE ad, dubbed “Child of the 90s,” tries to appeal to people who remember the web browser at its worst.

The video shows snapshots of passing 1990s fads, such as Slap Wraps and Pogs. Meanwhile, a narrator describes how things were different back then. (My favorite line: “Lunch was a puzzle, not a picture,” spoken while stacks of Lunchables arrange themselves for an Instagram-style photo.) Take a look.

omg yes, and Yahoo groups and e-mail newsletters, that's how I first read fic. Buffy was my first fandom and back then the internet was so small that every single Buffy site was linked on one page and organized so neatly.

hard to believe I thought the number of links was overwhelming considering how impossible that task would be now. Imagine trying to get every Sherlock-related thing online linked on ONE page. D:
