10 years ago I already had high-speed web access ;P (me, and the 10 other
people who happened to be affiliated with a university and knew how to use
gopher/ftp/early www). Compared to the days when I was BBSing with 1200 baud
(right after Forever Knight (or whatever Roger Gustafson's son's BBS was
(can't remember his son's name (he should be 29-31 by now)))) having a T3 at
my disposal is incredible (though, as I say I've been spoiled with
high-speed access for 9 years now in two weeks (my first intro to high-speed
internet was Sept/1993)... & a friend had high speed web in residence 1994
at York (lucky SOB)).
