There’s a concert my daughter wants to go see, but you have to be a verified fan, whatever. I had to sign up for a Ticketmaster account to do that. Apparently, I already had an account, so I reset the password, login, and find they have my address down from at least 25 years ago!

I was on dialup back then with The MicroSoft Network as my ISP, hence msn.com email address. I would have been using Netscape Navigator as my browser, AltaVista as my search engine, we had a Novell Network at work and Windows 95 on our computers.

All that is long gone now, but fucking Ticketmaster still has me as having an account with them.

I think even Presidents Washington and Lincoln used the web.. . I go back and easily locate a topic from Sig Forum which is dear to me. It is there forever. Funny trapper, my employer from many years back forced me to use a work station. Nervous as a whore in Church. I knew nothing of the internet. Knew nothing of computers. That was long ago.

My Email is still AOL. The internet was hand cranked when I signed up.

Did you ever get a bill that surprised you?
What I remember was I was starting to have money to invest then but didn’t jump on the dot com boom and I was hoping to find the 3Ms of the world before they were 3M and they were right under my nose: aol, Dell, etc.

Don't forget the bust that followed the boom. For every AOL, there was a Worldcom (RIP), and for every Dell, there was a Pets.com (RIP) so it depended greatly on which horse you backed.
