do you remember your first internet session?
« on: June 22, 2006, 11:11:06 AM »
Mine was at university, with a vt-220 running a VMS session and browsing with Lynx...

I remember searching Aminet the first time... wow! a great soft repository and everithing for my a500!!!

it was 15-16 years ago... and now i continue browsing aminet. it sounds graceful thinking about the time of life utility of this type of things.

@neuroflip: thanks alot, brings back a lot of good memories!


It has been a nostalgia attack!
Many years without an Amiga  :roll:  :crazy:


Later my father bought a PC (sorry, but my father had his own reasons lol), and a 9600 modem and then...

I remember playing great sessions of MUD (Medina for spanish users)  :evil:
and iRC,
and counting the connect time because it wasn't cheap  :angry:

mmm I think that my english is bad (and babelfish don't help a lot)  :-D

Then had to transfer those via Kermit directly to a 5.25" floppy, then had to find a PC with both 3.5" and 5.25" drives to make the transfer... Those were the days!


i used kermit to transfer the downloaded aminet files from VAX/VMS system (vt terminals), to 3.5"... and then NComm and a serial null modem to transfer to a500 with 512Kb ram expansion...

great great
