Geocities says Goodbye!

I believe it was the first place I had any sort of web prescence on back when I used to do a lot of traveling and meeting people from a IRC group I used to hang out on.

Say farewell to GeoCities, the vintage Web-hosting site - CNN.com

(CNN) -- The flashing banner ads, questionable color schemes and omnipresent "Under Construction" signs of GeoCities are no more.

The personal Web-hosting site, launched in 1995 and owned by Yahoo Inc. since 1999, was to be shut down by Tuesday.
 
I am in mixed feelings about this.

In once sense i am like "wow..". another i am like "good bye you ugly ass thing" and then another "its impressive its still around, i would have thought it was gone yonkers ago."

Wait, wait, wait...

Am I to understand that "yonkers" is a unit of time in Australia?

 Is it more or less time than a parsec?
