    The public internet has been around about three times longer than what you’re calling “old”.

    Geocities, Angelfire, and dialup modems are the “old” internet.

        I think bbs is considered pre-internet. Or maybe alternate and separate to the internet since you would dial directly to them. To my understanding internet didnt really have public access until the late 80’s/early 90s.

        Im 38 so i wasnt really there, just my understanding
