My First Experience of the InternetWe remember when this was all fields, and lived a furtive life of dial-up modems and dodgy newsgroups. Tell us about how you came to love the internets.

Anyone remember Neopets?We started having "Internet" lessons when I was in middle school. Basically you could do anything you wanted, as long as it was online and not too dodgy. Cue a lesson- so an hour every week- where we were getting graded on our ability to collect Neopoints and win Destruct-O-Match.
The teacher who led the class made sure we all typed the "HTTP colon forward dash forward dash" bit of the URL, though. Very useful.

Neopets has gone to shit now, although it never really was all that good. I replayed Escape From Meridell recently just for kicks, and the difficulty was as much from the shit controls as the ridiculous level design.
