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.

Awkwardness around the inlawsIn the early days of AOL, Mr. Kila volunteered my help to the inlaws when they had some computer problem or other. I checked out some setup window and some history popped up. Oh, my, I said, er, it looks like Jr. Inlaw has been surfing xx...x sites *ahem* (as light dawned on me) well, I'll just click here and change this setting and you should be good to go!
My brother inlaw was fairly choking and his wife was looking in on all of us wondering how we were doing.
He never asked me for help again. It took several months before I could look my inlaws in the face. Still can't look him in the eye, now that I think about it.
