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.

Netware
used to have a 'lite' version, which was basically a peer to peer sharing system. It came with an ASCII text game where you;d be hunting each other through a blocky maze.

We have 5 or 6 people on a peer to peer network, and used to quietly play this, but quite often someone would get shot, and leap up in the air and shout 'you cunt!' or similar.

The people not on this network had no idea what was going on, and got rather miffed about it.

Hmm. What were those Novell network cards? 1000s and 2000s...

We used to use some shitty
cheap things, can't remember what they were called, but 'eagle' seems to ring a bell.

Ours had BNC connectors. Much better than CAT 5, as you can't connect a load of RJ45 plugs together to make them look like a mad system of drainpipes.
