I remember my first internet experience was the meeting point in eWorld (who of you guys used this?) where I didn't really know what I was doing but soon found myself chatting with some guy from New York!
This was back in 1993 (or 92/94?) and I was using a GeoPort with 9.6 KBits/sec speed and the NCSA Mosaic browser - not very much WWW back then!

The biggest change in Internet experience was my DSL connection 4 years ago though - flatrate and highspeed made it all totally different!
