my first computer was a 486 with 1 GB of memory back in 1996. i barely knew how to turn one on before then.
like charlatan, i used to use it for doing my university papers....and THEN a few weeks later i discovered the interwebz, and i was hooked..forget about study!
i dont recall how fast the modem was, but i remember at the time how happy i was with the slow loading pictures. Magellan and Lycos seem lightyears away

i did find a way to 'shut my modem up' by putting a code in the settings.. worked wonders, until dad busted me up at night at 3am on IRC.
