Jack Bauer in 1994 on AOL 3.0 - Hilarious
As a major 24 fan myself as well as someone who used to be on AOL 3.0 on my 9600bps modem, something about this parody rang home.
Ah yes, the good ol’ days of paying for the Internet hour by hour. And wait, huh? Whats that? I get 5 free bonus hours for the month if I sign up with AOL today? Awesome!
I thought I was soooo cool with my 4MB of Ram and 25Mhz CPU which was an upgrade from my 8Mhz Mac Plus with 1MB Ram. ONE MEGABYTE!!!!
But I couldn’t complain because as Bill Gates said:
“640K ought to be enough for anybody!”
Its really funny to see how so much has changed, things were so much simpler then. Though I love technology to death, I really am glad to be able to say “I existed before everyone and their dog had a computer and was online 24/7”.
Back in the day when you actually had to find creative outlets and actually go outside to interact with the real world. The social disconnect back then was still at a minimum. Good times.
Some of my fav quotables from this:
- “He’s got total control of our geocities page”, “god help us”
- “I can see him, he’s hacking into the mainframe”, “But we just installed Windows 3.1, no way!”, “He’s in”, “Bogus!”
- “Gotta go Jack”, “Why?”, “We’re paying for the Internet, BY THE HOUR”.
- “Email him the bomb schematics.”, “It’s 150 Kilobytes!”, “Jesus! Print them out and we’ll send a bike messenger”
