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.

E-mail will never catch onI was introduced to e-mail at my first post-college job at a large bank. This was in the days of fairly primitive internal networks before the internet existed in any form we'd recognize, and the bank was considered quite advanced for having this internal communication system. I gave the IT guys quite a laugh when I expressed how great it would be if we could communicate with people outside the bank using a similar system. Obviously I understood nothing about technology, I was an idiot for imagining anything like that could ever happen, it would never, ever happen, ha ha ha.
I like to imagine those guys living in their mom's basements, playing Pong all day and thinking that's cutting edge technology.
