Haha, the internet did not fit on a 1.44mb floppy in 1998. Curious to know what was on this‽

1998 was well into the CD-ROM era and the internet was full of .mp3s and .isos by then.

Trans-Equity is apparently a real estate brokerage in Florida. Maybe a backup of their website?

I always hid mine in a folder in My Documents. I always named the folder something that sounds like you could fuck up the PC if you mess with it. Usually FAT32_j2431z. Then I'd change the folder icon to something computery

My Star Trek GeoCities website in 1996 had so many images on it you would have needed a CD-R to back it up.

In 1998, there was so much media (Images, music, shareware, games, even video) on the net it would have taken a server farm to make a copy.

I remember printing off cheats for my PS1 games because it was easier than writing it all down to take to my bedroom to use them!
