One of my mates was in uni and could get on the internet there, at the time I only knew one person who had it at home.
I went around the uni with him specifically once to see what i could find out about Charles Manson. After reading Helter Skelter I wanted to find out more about him.

'rex hunt fishing'. I was the biggest fan of his show.

Back in 1996 my friend told me on the way to the computer lab to type in xxx.com.

I was hooked from then on.

[The binman chronicles]

I can't remember exactly (i'm sure naked ladies was right up there though!) but it would have been on a sub 30k modem and doing anything used to take ages. Just imagine kids of looking at a decent picture and it loading line by line AND yet you are still excited...

...not sure, but there was a horse racing tipster called D1ck Hunter who wrote for the Weekender. When he retired, I searched to see if he had a tipping website but what came up made me blush.

The company my daughter worked for were upgrading their computers and selling off their old stuff. I bought an IBM PC. Bought a modem with dial-up each time you wanted to go on-line. This was about 20 years ago. First search was to a Genealogy site.
