the good ole sounds of the dial up and the jokes of picking up the phone

1981 BBC Micro computer...my bro also had a Sinclair ZX81 to play around with. No consumer internet as such.

1986 Mac classic computer (the ones with the really small screens). No consumer internet to speak. Getting involved with the AI guys up at Lancaster Uni at the time was great fun.

1997 Power Mac clone and still on dial-up. First BT internet address but so few folks I knew had email. Remember the Netscape browser?

2000 iMac Blueberry and slow, but improving internet...it was enough to find some entertainment with like minded musos and artists.

2002 Much improved internet access with broadband and launched m'self at a lesbian chat room which was much fun for a while back in the day of visiting all round the country.

Look how far technology has come in just few short years.
