You might be an Internet Ancient if you:
โข remember Netscape Navigator
โข ever used any modem with a bandwidth of 28,8 or lower
โข had an Early Adopter account on Livejournal
โข witnessed the rise and fall of PhPBB
โข witnessed the rise and fall of Napster
โข used the web before Google existed
โข ever used a dialup BBS site
โข remember Gopher
โข ever downloaded music as .mod files
โข remember when about 90% of the web was made up of personal sites which were "under construction" and had pictures of people's cats on them
โข remember when Yahoo was literally just a big list of websites
โข know IRC commands
โข have heard anyone unironically use the phrase "information superhighway"
โข can recognise different bandwidth modems by what bleepy handshake sound they make
โข have ever received one of those chain e-mails where you have to scroll through about a kilometre of forwarded headers only to find a "hilarious" vaguely lewd image and/or a banal list like this one

music you never get tired of:
Galaxy Force II (Arcade) - Defeat (Scene B)
composer: Katsuhiro Hayashi
this was a tough one to pick for, so i decided to go with some classic sega jazz fusion. the same composer also did the soundtrack for quartet, which i considered for this list

16-bit music:
Popful Mail (PC-98) - Jungle (Battle)
composer: Falcom JDK
pc-98 is a 16-bit computer, so why not show off the original version of this great track?

boss battle music:
Phantasy Star 4 (Genesis) - Laughter
composer: Izuho Numata
it doesn't have to be a normal boss theme, right? this ost in general is one of my favorites, but i love this song in particular because it puts you in the exact mood for fighting the bosses this theme accompanies

music featuring vocals:
Final Zone II (TG-CD) - Momoko Ring's Theme
composer: unknown (developed by reno)
while final zone 2 features telenet's usual bottom tier english voice acting, both the japanese and english versions of this song are very good
