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.

my first experience of the internet was at schoolWord would spread that there was a computer with Internet, but more often than not, upon opening IE (as i had seen so many other people do and type in bbc.co.uk nothing would happen) then one day, I sat a PC for class, click IE and wahayyy, what was this? where was it coming from? Prior to this I was hooked on Brittanica CD-ROM which i had to get the librarian to fetch the CD of.
After that it was a case of going to the local council Library. A room in the corner was setup with several computers with massive CRT monitors, then a fat 'technician' would be sitting in the corner on an even larger CRT monitor. It was here I was introduced to SPAM. Opening an email on Hotmail and seeing a massive pair of Tits displayed, with the pensioner lade next to me Tutting in disaproval.
