Do You Remember The First Time You Got On The Internet?

If I recall correctly, I was maybe six years old, and I went to a web site about breakfast cereal (got the URL off a cereal box). This must have been around 1995-1996. I am probably one of the younger posters here.

Age is only a frame of mind. If I did not know my age I would think I was in my 20's. I act like I'm in my 20's.
By the way, I loved reading the back of the cereal box every morning while I ate. It was like reading the newspaper for kids. Captain' Crunch or Boo Berry where a treat. Most of the time it was Rice Crispies, Cheerio's or Honey Comb's. The simple things life are the best. They just don't taste the same now.

I think it was some time in the late 70's or early 80's. Used the old dog'n'bone with the dial and plugged the handset part into a box with 2 rubber suction cups to connect to other computers.

Looked something like this

Web and Web Search Book recently released by US Govt under FoI.

It's the 2007 edition and, thus, dated but still has some particularly heavy stuff in the area of Google search hacks
