I started using the internet around 1993. I lived in a university town and was into the local BBS scene when I was young. College kids would talk about the Internet, and one of them hooked me up with an account on a random linux box on Penn State's network. Gopher and Usenet were fascinating to me. I remember the most interesting corner of the net (to me) for a long time being wiretap.spies.com, free-speech text library Gopher site.

I started young. Very young. These days it feels like I can't go more than a minute without a hit.
