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.

Anyone else remember a very early DOS-based email system called 'Higgins' (named after the butler in 'Magnum')
Late 80's - it was a slow pile of crap that was massively proprietary, no IP/SMTP, just Higgins-to-Higgins comms, the first version wouldn't allow what we've come to know as attachments, it real was rubbish.

I remember Higgins.
No, wait: I've never heard of it.
I always get those two mixed up.

Ah, that brings back memories.
I didn't realise it was named after Magnums butler.
Oh, hang on. No, I think I'm thinking of Wordperfect.
Sorry, never heard of it.
