This is a question My First Experience of the Internet

We 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.

Internet Cafe
I was about 15. My pal Nick and I went to an Internet cafe in Birmingham. It was in the very early days of the interwebs and we were so excited to have the world at our fingertips. We paid our subs to the cafe, sat at a huge PC and let our imaginations run riot. What did our young, creative minds spend our hour looking at? The meaning of life? Time and space? No...

We spent most of the time looking up Alice the Goon from Popeye.

Edit: Ooh thinking about it, I'm sure we also had a really boring web chat with someone from abroad - wowsers!
