Or those spin wheel / lotto websites where you would get a limited amount of plays daily but would win real money. Then they send you a real 4 dollar check/cheque.
I wonder what happened to company behind the punch the monkey banner.
Those were the days people thought we would all be working and living through the internet (perhaps in second life style) soon and buying everything. Ironicly 20 years later we are being forced to life this way.

#44I used to use this in college before I switched to Camino!
Oh my God, I loved Camino so much! The browser scene for the Mac in the early Aught's was such a mess. Netscape was bloated, slow as hell, and wasn't keeping up with standards.

Such a great little browser!

Aren’t all browsers on iOS using WebKit by Apple decree? I mean the ones you get via AppStore, at least.
