Well it wasn't really the internet. We only had access to sites under Microsoft Network. But we pretty quickly went with Netscape.

i used to skip around computers dialing them all up at the same time and then jumping on whatever one didn't time out.

Oh yeah there's nothing like the sound of a 9600 baud modem making a connection.

I didn't hack or anything, it was all about hardware, and OS integration. My dad used to take home older machines from work and I would put them together tweak them, and tweak Windows as well. I've installed windows on computers a hellova lot of times.

i used telnet to poke around a few times but was never sure if i could get into trouble so i didn't do much.

I also remember the day i found fdisk. My dad wasn't happy when he came home to print out reports he had for work and got the 'No boot device" screen
