Fulvio’s Web Cafe

The above image may not mean anything to many people, but for some of us, knowing that GeoCities will be closed down by the end of the year brings a tear to the eye.
I remember discovering GeoCities in 1996, while searching on Altavista (no Google yet!) for a free place to host internet webpages.
I had my “site” up later that night, a huge “Work in Progress” animated gif on a blank background, with “Fulvio’s Website” written on top of it.
I don’t even remember what happened to that page, maybe it is still there somewhere, saved on some dusty hard drive on their storage servers. Who knows.
Farewell, GeoCities, you will be missed.
