I don't know
what I feel is more ancient, me or the internet!



Yepp.

In some news groups People write that their pc is a slow one with only
1 GHz. Reading this I remember the old times (oh where have they gone
to?) when we bought our first computer, a 286 with 1 (in words: one)
mb of ram and a 40 mb hdd.

Soon afterwards we bought our first modem, a 2400 baud modem which
opened the world to us. That must have been around 1990. We first
started as point to a mailbox. After some months we got connected to
the usenet and that was the big step.

The world has change quite a bit since then, and it is still
developing. I still haven't lost my hope that the improving
possibilities to communicate world wide via the internet will make
life a bit more peaceful.

Now we do have two children (11 and 16 ys) and all members of our
family own a pc. Even our Elijah with his 11 years now sarts using the
internet as his playground. Wikipedia is a great thing for a curious
young boy to discover the world of sciences and arts.

Greetings from Arft, that is in south western Germany,

Dirk Weber
