I have these kind of conversations with people and some forget just how different things were years ago. Programs that came on a vast array of about 24 floppy disks, sometimes with a serial dongle you had to plug into the PC to use them, before licence keys. And when you had to shut the PC down, then about 30 minutes later once it had finished that, you had to actually turn if off (remember "It's now safe to turn off your computer"?). Turning the PC on and going to actually make a cup of tea or some other chore while it was booting up (I actually remember one time where I mowed the lawns). 56k dial-up, having to come off the house phone to do your nightly browsing on all of four websites. The endless onslaught of pop-ups you used to get (no popup blockers in them days remember), I remember while browsing the net a pop-up window frame would appear, most of the size of the page you're looking at, then the advert itself would load one line of pixels at the time, and it took about 10 seconds to load one line. And it had to load fully before you could close it and resume what you were doing. Then a few minutes later another frame would appear.
I just couldn't get over the first time I ordered something from Amazon, in about 1998 or 99. I could order from this vast online catalogue and they'd arrive in the post a couple of days later! Unbelieveable. I remember thinking one day you'll be able to buy everything like this...
