I remember in the early days of the internet Guinness installed PCs for anyone to use in a few pubs, including McGowan's in Phibsboro. We were there one afternoon and we decided to have a play with it and within minutes we were chatting with someone in Ohio or somewhere like that. Accessing it was a bit of a chore iirc, it was all done through Netscape, but it was so incredible we didn't care how long it took. Kids these days would lose their minds waiting for a 28.8k dial-up modem to get going.
