I'd been trying to recall recently when I first got on the net...must have been 1996. I remember buying a 28.8 modem from my local Amiga shop in Brierley hill (the west mids of england - I grew up in the UK before moving to aus). The shop owner also gave my a copy of NCOMM ;-) and I was hooked on BBS's for a few months until I pursuaded my Dad to sign us up to Cable internets dial up service. My first email address was with net @address...remember those guys?? and I used webcrawler as a search engine - they were pretty big back in the day. Back in 1996 my stock Amiga 1200 with 6mb was pretty good at surfing the web and I dont recall there being many sites it couldnt handle. I finally bought a PC in about late 1997.
