One of Aussiefriend's posts got me to thinking about how long I have had Internet service.
I had a Compaq 286 and dial up in the early 1990's. I had personal computers before that, but no Internet. Do you remember Wombat and typing in all the commands before you could play on the amber screen or programming your own fields on Lotus 123? If I think waaaaay back, I can remember when the TRS80s had a cassette tape deck as a drive for programs (ELIZA was the first actual program I ever used that I didn't type in myself).

How about you?
And did you spend large parts of the first year you were connected looking at porn? I am thinking that is relatively universal.
