Nostalgia Nerd talks about the Trojan Room Coffee Pot


This was a real nostalgic boot to the head. Thirty years ago I read about this in the book Dave Barry in Cyberspace. Dave had a chapter devoted to interesting sites in the early days of the World Wide Web, and Trojan Room Coffee Pot was one of them.



It really is interesting, thinking back to the early days when streaming video seemed like a miracle. The days before YouTube when you were limited to three minute Flash videos and you still had to wait for them to load.
