Then I learned how to nifty colored ANSI art! Wahoo! The first software I wrote wasn't for a website it was VB3 AOL 'proggies' to advertise XXX sites ;) Good`ol days.

Lots of BBSing, and a few times I dialed a long distance number for some type of web and/or usenet access. By 1997 I had finally made it up to Windows 3.1. :) Sadly for me in 1994 I was running DOS 1.0 on my dad’s original IBM PC.

More like 1997 than 1994 though. I still had a university email address in 1994 and no practical use for it. IRC was big and CNBC still referred to the net as the information super-highway. No IM back then. ICQ didn't arrive til 97. In 94 my girlfriends older sister had a motorola brick and I was still downloading pirate software and UFO conspiracy theories from BBSs. More stuff was on the web besides text and you could get images to load in Netscape Navigator. My internet speed was blazing with my 28.8 baud modem and I had 16 megs of RAM which was about 4 times more than anyone else. Good times. Hahah, pretty hilarious. More like 1997 than 1994 though.
