My first proper interweb experience was during schoolI was known as a bit of a computer whizz back then and stumbled upon a little something called Freeserve Chat.....I was on there all the friggin time and even clocked up the minutes at home
ToOnZ SnR. had dial-up....when he saw the bill....well.....lets just say I could not sit down for a few days!
Oh, and I remember downloading a program which was a cat on your desktop who chased your mouse cursor....oh the days of primitive entertainment!!

On Windows 3.1you used to be able to run multiple instances of it.
I used to amuse myself by having 15 windows tiled on the screen. When you move the mouse, it looked like a cat riot - 15 cats sat up and ran in a concentric circle towards the cursor.
Small things.
