if ‘web’ means html, im sure it was yahoo;  that was the next big thing, when i first checked out netscape.  

but i had been internetting since well before there was an ‘internet’ to be internetting on.  

i used to do a lot of crazy shit with telnet, and some of the other protocols from around then.  

that, and all the neat stuff we used to be able to do over the telephone.  i really miss all the phreaker tricks.  fuckin cell phones.

Old School! Yeah!. I was around in the telnet day before there were graphics. I remember my 300 baud modem, then my 1200 baud, and my first 40MB HD that was a huge brick and thinking there was no way anyone could fill up 40MBs in a lifetime. I remember phone phreaking and blackboxes. My first computer had an 8086 processor at 2.3MHz (Not GHz, Lightning fast at the time) with an 8087 math co-processor. That’s when you had to move jumpers on the motherboard to install any hardware. People talk about building computers now days and I chuckle. Everything now is plug and play, a child can build a computer now.

Memories of my teenage years in the 80’s…
