You could still email using uunet/uucp (unix to unix copy) back then: !path!to!recipient IIRC. Kooky. I managed to find Usenet about that time, and I've been online pretty much since then. Never had any intention of using the net for anything more than information exchange though. 1992.

I was busy offline. But I remember clearly the first time I heard about the Internet although not in those words. It was in Munich in 1992. A computer geek I knew had one of those old computers with the blue screen and text ... and he told me that he was communicating with people all over the world through his computer. WOW! I was really impressed. Then, as I said, I got busy for a few years. In 2003, I discovered email ... I was a bit slow on the draw I suppose. But now, I love blogging. And I love sharing ideas, education, art, information, and news with people. I think that this what makes the Internet so valuable to us as a civilization - the speed of communication which has been made possibly, and the speed with which ideas can be spread and knowledge can be shared. That hasn't died, I suppose one just as a bit more to wade through now than in the past. I don't spend as much time on actually blogging as I would like to but I am actually in the process of reorganizing so that I can. This is something very close to my heart and who I am. It "fits" for me. I came very late. I was busy offline. But I remember clearly the first time I heard about the Internet although not in those words. It was in Munich in 1992.
