Would you believe there was a time in history when internet explorer 6 was too big to download, so I used to install it from an ISP CD.
Freeserve (uk) if i remember correctly. They also branded the loading animation in the top corner so you had to rummage around the program files folder and remove the branding gif to get the original globe / windows flag back.
Those were the same days that running xp pre SP1 online was computer suicide. Microsoft sent out free CDs to upgrade it was so bad.
Anyway, thanks for taking a walk down memory lane with me. My back hurts
