Do you remember when you first went online? What did you look at? I remember Bath Library you could go on the web if you paid a fee. I looked up French and Indian war groups in the US and Canada. Very few images mostly text. In time Susan's Dad bought us a computer as he wanted his Grandchildren to be computer savvy which they became. In those days if you were online the phone was engaged. On Compuserve I think. A voice cheerily said 'welcome to Compuserve' when you got connected and a sad voice said 'leaving Compuserve' when you left. The UK lagged behind the US so most of my emails were from there but gradually UK reenactors got online. I think we had two servers as you would be allocated about 10 hours a week and that just wasn't enough. Freeserve was another one we had. This was mid 90s.
