“I’m ready for the internet, but is the Internet ready for me?”
See??? Seeee??? It was never really ready for me. This is what you get when you give uninhibited idiots like me a forum.
… In truth, I wasn’t ready.
Nobody was
I believe this with all my heart. I wish the Internet had been able to evolve as WAN first for a few decades. Maybe then we might have been ready?
Isn’t that literally what happened with ARPANET?
Take me to the Internet.
I figured it’d be heavier.

This screen looks so familiar to me. 90s Mac?
I believe it’s MacOS 9 (which seems a bit late for “I’m not ready for the Internet”, but maybe it was a hangover from MacOS 8?)
It’s the Aqua interface, so that’s actually Mac OS X.
Macs had access to the internet long before that, but you were on the right track that OS 9 was the first one to be marketed as “internet-ready.” Saying “I’m not ready” in this case is the same as a “Setup networking later.” options in current OSes.
Yep. iMac/iBook first-run setup on MacOS 9.
Are any of us really?
