Remember when the internet could only be accessed by the really technical people? You had to dial in by taking the phone off the hook and placing it on top of the modem, or you dialed into a BBS in another state.

Or you had Gopher.

Now any idiot can get on. Welcome to AOL. Prepare to be Stupid.

I remember signing up for my first internet account.

It was the summer of 1994. I paid $18/mo for 300 hours a month of 2400 baud internet access.

PINE e-mail and IRC was about it until around 1996 when I got a Mac and started using NSCA Mosaic then Nutscrape 1.1

:Q 14.4 kbps modems were around at that time, why were you using 2400 baud? I started around the same time... I was on a Mac with a 14.4 modem, used MacWeb and Netscape 1.1. I used it mostly for USENET back then.

It was an old IBM XT, 13" black and orange monitor.

Ah the good 'ole days.

Ever call a different state to log into a real BBS? Ahhh, the days of Renegade BBS and PASCAL programming. Those were the good ol' days.
