If you were fortunate to have a connection. Here you had to be on
university and have contacts with enough power to allow you time on
a
computer with that connection. I did not hear of Internet till the
90's,
and it took me about a decade to get access at home.


I got my first e-mail address in 1991 or 92. E-mail was the only
access I had to the Internet then; it was through a BBS.

I didn't have web access in my home until around 1994.

newbie.

Same for me, but later like in 1995 with TIA and SLiRP via my
university's HP-UX shell account. Before that, it was BBSes, Prodigy,
and my friend's university shell account (didn't know how to do that web
stuff yet). All on dial-up, baby. :P

Wow, you had dial-up and not a crank phone? Nice to have the latest
stuff!!

Hehe. http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/toys.html for my past and
current stuff. Yeah, these days I use ancient stuff like my
decade old PCs. I care not for the newer stuff anymore.

Nice link.
Thanks,
