My First Experience of the InternetWe remember when this was all fields, and lived a furtive life of dial-up modems and dodgy newsgroups. Tell us about how you came to love the internets.

internets 1995Got contract with huge Canadian telecoms company in North London in 1994 or 1995, I'd never used the Internet before, they had it on tap. I remember typing in Netscape the names of all the British high street companies I could think of - www.boots.com, www.smiths.com, etc etc. A lot of them weren't taken at the time. I remember thinking to myself 'Somebody's going to make a lot of money registering these domain names'. I wish it had been me. Bollocks. They did have Usenet too. First time I ever saw pr0n at work.
