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.

Was my first impression (much like the QOTW set up). My friend was in college, trying to write a web page for his dad's dental business or something. Although I had heard of the internet, I had never seen it.
He showed me the page he created, then went to an early version of Yahoo! He clicked on the link labeled "Celebrities", then "Pamela Anderson", and a photo popped up with her topless. He went "oops", hit page back and showed me sports stuff for another 15 minutes.
Needless to say, I decided then and there I needed the interwebs.
