spoilt
Early ninties, at uni where we had whatever passed for broadband, so I thought everyone had the Internet relatively fast. 6 months later my new girlfriend was showing off her new dial-up modem - I was utterly bowled over at how slow and shite it was, there didn't seem to be any point having internet access at home if you could read the entire contents of a page before the graphics even started coming down.

First job on leaving uni was at an Internet company with again pretty decent broadband. Totally spoilt. Didn't bother getting the Internet at home until about 2002 when broadband was widely available and relatively cheap - knew I couldn't stand to put up with anything else.

Stayed late at uni and work a lot and, ahem, copied a lot of stuff to floppy.
