Ten years of… whatever [1]

Posted on November 29, 2004 by Arthur

Just the other day, it came to me that I’ve been around this Intarnet for 10 years.

Yes, you’ve heard that right, but don’t bother sending me congratulations. I will return those right away, including the spam you send along with them. Those 10 years: It’s a long story too. I can’t exactly recall which day I decided to ‘subscribe’ to the Internet, but it must have been in between September and December of 1994. It was a rather cold day and my first ISP had a wide choice of plans: long distance for 5 Guilders an hour.

That was a pretty expensive offer, which I then considered a steal. I remember people asking me ‘what this Intarnet was all about. ‘You can travel the WORLD behind your computer’, was my enthusiastic answer. Sure.

    It’s a window on the world. The information super highway. They must have thought someone would organize it some how by now.
