And I was first on the WWW sometime in late 1996 at the Bayonne Public Library.

We didn’t have internet connectivity in my rural area until 1997.

Yep - Packard Bell 250mb hard drive, AOL which had a “World Wide Web” connect box at the upper right hand of the screen. The sense of freedom when I got off AOL!

I was 1994. That was back when I was using Gopher and Mosiac.
Although I was a brilliant computer programmer, my computer clueless brother had the very first website on the web to stream video. I was so embarrassed.

I first used in in 94 at the library too.

I remember using Webcrawler, NASA’s FTP photo archive, and discovered shareware and freeware on the first day. Felt like I won the lottery.
