I had used a computor at work since the early 90's, but we weren't hooked up to the internet then. Then the go-go 90's on the market was getting everyone geeked up and I eagerly got my first home pc in '97 when even chimps were making money, I did too, lol. When I got home from work I was trying to get online thru' AOL as was everyone else. Read the complaints on the Q and A board now and you realize why no one could get any "tech" help then.
