    I was 17 at the time. I think I was running an Apple IIe, making spreadsheets with Appleworks at the time :)

    That's not the beginning of the internet; I was using it in 1985 before there were any domains. There used to be a static "hosts" file that was copied from server to server, which contained a master name-to-IP-address mapping. When a new host came online, a new file would be generated and sent around. Works fine when the internet has a few hundred hosts; would not be so fine today.

    Interesting, those were the days when the term "internet" was not know to everyone :)
