What is something that was used heavily in the year 2000, but it's almost never used today?

For anyone looking to scratch this itch, I present to you WebAmp.

Getright

I totally forgot about that. I had to Google it but GetRight is still a thing. That thing was a necessity if you ever had any hopes of playing some Quake 2 or 3 mods. It was always a heartbreak to find out too late that a server didn't support download resuming.

Neocities

By the way, if I hadn’t made it clear before, neocities isn’t actually the same geocities. it’s a web hoster like the old one was, but it was created because of the creativity and freedom that creating your own webpage offered. You can find thousands of different webpages on there, ranging from old school style pages to highly designed ones. a chunk of these pages have even gotten a ton of views (the most popular one has reached almost 31 million views). You can check it out in your own time if you’d like.

MAPS.ME

There's also the maps.me app, which has super detailed maps of the whole world. Essentially like Google Maps, but no need to plan ahead and download a map for offline use. I use it for every vacation.

calibre

Calibre is an excellent library management tool! Plugins to remove DRM for lots of popular sources too. Any time I buy something on Kindle I toss it in there and convert to epub.

Reddit

I remember being 9 or so and my mind was blown when I realized you could just type the domain and category ( reddit.com for example) without using the http://.

AOL Reader

I deal with customer emails regularly and it's amazing how many people UNDER 25 have an aol.com email.
