Hole in the sky?

My 90's picture made it to the top of Reddit.

The 90's all wrapped up in one image.

My dad was going through some photos at home and stumbled upon a stack of my sister and I, one time when she was visiting Florida. Lot's of pictures from Busch Gardens, Disney World, and random vacation spots around the area. I sent this one to my sister who responded.. "Well that's the 90's in one picture." Click here to view the reddit post in question. This picture really stood out:


     Soooooo naturally I posted it on Reddit for imaginary points that no one cares about. It swiftly made it to the top of Reddit, and the r/90's group, and I've already seen my own picture once in a Tiktok video slideshow of the 90's. Crazy how that works, and how fast it happens. In 24 hours the post had 204k views and 1.9k upvotes. 

Top comments from the post that stood out to me:
  • Wicker backed chairs for the win
  • Lol caption on the TV
  • Quart of Icehouse
  • Rocking the JNCO jeans
  • I can hear the computer start up in this picture
     This is one of the few pictures I have of my original battle station in High School. As I have talked about many times, I had a Macintosh Performa 636cd, DOS card, and video capture card. This was as close as you could get to having a Quadra 840av for a third of the price. Connetix Color Quickcam, aftermarket Keyboard and mouse, and a Laserwriter printer under the desk. This was cutting edge in the mid-90's! On the screen is AOL 3.0 with OJ's Tool's installed. Using this setup, I was able to create my Legend Website, Hack the Planet, Rip music and video from VHS tapes, and play/tape/document the emulation gaming scene at the time.
