What do you browse with?

I recall that back in the day, when DRN was in it's early years it was strange to see a mobile device listed in the stats as browsing the forums. Phones were phones and not much else in 1999!

Today, 50% of the visitors here are using either a phone or a tablet. Of those, 50% are iPhones and iPads. I would have thought at least Samsung would have made a dent in the dominance by now. Even with the 12 or so models of Samsung products that show up, they still total lest than 15% of the views.

Things have changed a LOT in 15 years.

Speaking of change, here's an Internet Archive screen shot of the site as it was October 1, 1999.
Kinda like those old pics you see of yourself ... "what was I thinking?" LOL.

Thanks for making me feel old!

Yeah well ... beats the alternative.

Blows my mind it's been 15 years & 3 months. Happened to see the registration date of the domain yesterday. Crazy.

lots of water under the bridge since those days.
Those that were children back then are all grown up with families of their own now.

Yep, been a long time. I'm still old fashion though. I only have a cell phone because they gave me one at work and I just use a desktop computer...no laptop or tablet to surf the World Wide Interweb for me! No sir. No Facebook or Twitter either, just Linkedin for business purposes.

Everything has gotten too fast paced and everyone has to be "connected", it's gotten out of control. I heard yesterday that Facebook crashed and people were calling 911...really?

I use some pretty high end software at work but that's my job.

I said that at work the other day, crazy how many people you see with a phone in their face ... texting is the new talking I guess. :OHMY:

Okay, ALOT!!! :) I have the I5 phone, and the biggest mistake ever, I dropped verizon for 20 bucks cheaper per month, for tmobile? Wow does tmobiles service blow! I need 2 phones, 1 for a hot spot, and 1 to Communicate! On a wifi it's okay.
