What Year Did You First Use Internet?

Just had a look and the there is a forum that I've been a member of since 1998. Not bad that it's still going but it's not at all what it used to be. When did Bluemoon start up proper?

Had my first email address as a student at University, in my final year as an undergraduate, so would've been mid-1993...and can honestly say, I thought it was just a novelty (especially as I didn't know anyone else with one!)

In my first year as a post-grad, I started using the Internet, probably early 1994, and remember a mate of mine showing me how it worked. At the time there were no search engines, so you found web sites on massive index sites hosted by places like CERN. I also wrote and published my own web pages in basic html, and at one time had one of the most widely visited and linked-to sites relating to Real Ale in the UK, getting a few hundred visitors a day from all over the world!! I was even offered a job to write and design web pages, but wasn't remotely interested (if only...!) and wanted to finish my course.

And I remember the wonders of MCIVTA, a City newsletter/fanzine that used to be circulated a couple of times a week, and then I realised the power of the web!
