This surprises me. I was using the internet much earlier through Electronic Bulletin Boards.

I thought it would have been porn.

I started out with an Apple II clone and a dial-up modem. Later, I got another Apple II clone - can't remember the name off hand.

Several years later, I bought a PC from the company with the black spots on a white background - name escapes me. I was astonished to see the advances in the internet to include amazing graphics and too many sites to imagine.

I'd love to see an interview with Wozniak and his views of the advances since he and Jobs put together their first PC in their garage so many years ago.

That was the next day.

I remember when the internet was a new thing, and I was only about 13 years old. It was about 1994, and I was using a refurbished HP, and my sister taught me how to install a modem. I love showing younger kids sound clips of what those 56k modems sounded like. How the hell did we ever handle that ear rape?

How? Because there was porn on the other side of that ear rape.

I must admit that the ear rape was worth the easily available porn.
