Cell phones existed in 1995. They were expensive and just used for making phone calls, tho.

Had the internet tho. I’d be playing Doom or checking out Usenet forums.

OOOH Look at Mister FANCY PANTS with his dial up internet. You must be rich, Mister Fancy Pants.

    Apologies, I misread the tone of your comment. I thought you were jokingly saying dial up was fancy while you had to deal with AOL. I didn’t read it as two different statements as I should have.
