My first internet was with the local university and was called "freenet". Everything was text based gopher and my screen name was a chain of numbers. Then came the ultra modern compuserve A new chain of numbers but it was pretty cool - then it had a *browser*! I can't remember what it was called but it had pictures and everything. I think it was a precursor to Netscape - Mozilla maybe? I remember the 2400 modem and how exciting was to get the super fast cadillac speed of 9600 WOW! ZOOM!
