I find that nostalgia for the early web is inversely correlated with the number of IE 6 bugs one had to work around back in the day.

It was not the only thing one had to work around. We had to work around getting access to the internet in the first place (for those of use without the money to just afford being connected at home), hiding our identity online, not getting infected every second website we would visit.
But somehow we put the effort to get around all these problems because internet had something important to offer, because it was a window to something.
