What is the earliest thing that you can remember seeing or hearing online? in c/main@sh.itjust.works

The first Internet thing I remember actually doing is my friend helping me sign up for my first email account, on Hotmail... In high school computer lab, so it must have been 96 or 97.

I do remember reading about the Internet and trying to find a way to connect from home on our Packard Bell... But we were remote... It would have been some extreme long distance bills..

How many of you browsing this community are system admins/hobbyist? in c/main@sh.itjust.works

System admin for the first 6 years of non manual labor career. Freelanced at the same time...

Dev, now, but lots of inexpensive tech in my home... Including a Debian server running on an old Dell Pentium 4.
