Before The Web

So apparently the stuff I used to do (multimedia) has officially become creaky enough to be catalogued in museums. Apparently, this is a _vital_ pre-broadband era where some of the first widely available ideas of ‘virtual reality’ and cinema-quality 3D graphics for the home were being explored. I still have some original Voyager Company multimedia CD-ROMs and although getting them to work on recent operating systems is indeed a chore, they are true works of art. With basically no consumer-level broadband, the goal was to use the CD-ROM’s 650MB (in those days an almost unimaginably huge amount!) to transfer and retail what we now recognize as thematic websites.
