Back when I was 12 (which was in 1991) I got an internet acct on a local unix based ISP here in Toronto. I used Lynx via my shell account and got used to the web being text based. The first time I saw Netscape it blew my mind. It was the perfect mix of graphics and content. (Yes, I separate the two). The beauty back then was that business jerks hadn't taken over the internet yet. So much shared responsibility and resources without much money changing hands, they just had to move in and let me know my wang isn't long enough. :/
