Internet would cost half of my Dad's monthly salary that time so, Internet was far from reality to me.. !! I was a kid though in high school...!!
In 1995 I was sitting in the computer lab at my community college checking out this new internet thing on the Mosaic browser. Awe, if only I had thought to buy a few domains back then!
-Downloading xxx pics and trying to hide them on my Dad's PC
-Loading weird Warscripts into MiRC and doing Ping Of Death to people online.
-And making stupid websites.
For some reason, the first ever site I uploaded to my old ISP is still online. Even though the isp doesn't exist any more!
Here it is:
My Cat Is Staring At Me.
What can I say? I had just discovered illegal substances too and was exploring them with abandon.

Hell, I don't remember 1995. I was drunk most of that year in college.
I do remember prior to that in the olden days of playing tradewars and having nothing but BBSes to fuck with.

Wow you got it 5 years in advance thats amazing! Considering that even Quake 1 wasn't released yet in 1995.
Building a business plan for an ISP and getting funded, creating a web hosting and design company, building websites for everyone . . finishing school, slowly getting married and then who knows what the fuck happened next. . . .
Doom, DoomII, Lan Parties on Novell IPX (loaded drivers and the game in less than 640k bitches) Played Myst all the way through in 24 real time hours (around 95 . . .)
Fun times . . I lived in shitty $300 month apartment and had a bike for transportation.
Sometimes I wish things were that simple again.

Went from BBSs at the beginning of 1995 to marketing dialup for an ISP by the end of the year. Everyone wanted to get online, that was the most "fish jumping in the boat" time I've ever had in business.
Also built some horrible looking corporate web sites using TeachText and Photoshop 3.0 on a Mac that couldn't run for more than an hour without crashing.
