I love this fake retro hat only because the very first thing I bought online was a white Netscape hat just like this in September of 1995 from Netscape.com’s store.

I was so terrified of buying online the first time I used a brand new credit card and watched the statements for three months afterwards to make sure it wasn’t stolen by other websites before I ever used it again.

When terminally online people mock older users these days for not trusting common things on the internet I always think back to my own first e-commerce interaction and how I was completely convinced my credit card number would get stolen the first time I typed it into a web browser.

@mathowie But did you use the 40-bit encryption browser or the 128-bit encryption version?

(why do i still have brain cells full of this cursed arcana)

@dokas It was likely just Netscape 2.0 at the time? I'm guessing lower end SSL since it all felt so new.
