I canz hav Internets power?

Internetpower
"If you have a slower modem, you will not be able to enjoy the growing multimedia aspects of the Internet, such as graphics, sound and video." -- from Internet Power!, 1995.

Entrepreneur and geek archivist Andy Baio digi-transcribes a few pre-Internet Archive VHS tapes about the entertainment possibilities of the early dub dub dub, circa 1995 -- a year you better not remember as the time when Ross owned a monkey named Marcel. Making an appearance: Windows 3.1, the AOL 2.0(?) homepage, and tapered jeans. For more (not necessarily entertainment-related) nostalgia, hit up Rex's history of Wired magazine, and founding editor Louis Rossetto's response.
