An awesome TV documentary from 1993 (Peter Mansbridge ftw) talking about a new phenomenon - the "so called internet".

Think it'll catch on?

September, 1996. Beginning of grade 9. My parents thought it would be good for the family and especially me to have a computer and the internet. It certainly helped, but it didn't take me long to find all those naughty websites and kinky chat rooms.

I remember I got it back in about grade 3... prolly about 1995 or so. I used to play the original Diablo online... it was so ghetto... the family used to get so pissed at me when they'd miss calls cuz I was using the phone line for my 14400 modem.
