now i think back, it's when i first  managed to get online, with a 56k built in modem and a phone line, i was long  term poorly at the time, i remember being told off when the phone bill came in...

in the time it  took to dial a connection and get some thing on  the screen, you could have a bath, brush your teeth and make toast.

but  online was an hysterical experience in those days.

  Bloody dial up connection. 
Oddly enough I was only reminding son today how recently the internet kicked off. Because he's grown up with it - and with a cyber tart for a mother - it's second nature for him and his sister to be familiar with online relationships - he has XBox buddies that he interacts with because they are the kids of people I know online. I was trying to find words to explain how the ZX Spectrum worked compared with his XBox. And I failed.

yeah... it was fab...  


"major generalisation warning*

it was basically 50% IT ppl, 40% pervs, 5% just weird... and the rest were like us (broadly speaking)

It used to help the bonding experience... finding another non-It, relatively sane person online that was not wanting to cyber or groom you!

I remember being in awe when at Amazon... you could BUY stuff on the net... then bit by bit getting excited as a new online retailer emerged!

Exactly the same for me Blackpud. We went for a last family hol together in Cornwall and my mum repeatedly said what a load of rubbish BB was and couldn't understand what we all liked about it.....this year I see her point!
