Jeepers, Ryan, I was just kidding with you. Don’t know why you are upset. And this is still on topic as you are still in the top 10. But I will respect your wishes and make this my last post on this thread.
(unknown) says:
What? frankly I got upset at first, but now I don’t care. And I am stopping this thread because I wanting it to stay about my being about being in the top ten.
(unknown) says:
Yeah, I am waiting for you to catch up and am actually refraining from posting!
(unknown) says:
This isn’t the place for it. What possibly could be talked aboout.Look I am on top then an hour later haha you are on top. It’s almost like you doing a number of test posts in the test blog…
(unknown) says:
Ryan, maybe this is the thread where we can talk about being top of the tree … plus I posted something <a href="http://www.jackyan.com/blog/2006/04/confessions-of-blog-addict.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> which will keep this sort of topic relevant. (It’s my version of your post.)

My first steps were with the Internet when I was in Washington, D.C., at my first job with a small non-profit and starting a PR consulting business on the side. I had a tiny Mac in a tiny apartment. I was using Prodigy. Oh my gosh it was slow. I remember thinking there was great potential, but of course never imagined any thing like this. Then, in 1994 or 1995 with a new job in San Antonio, I started pushing for us to create a web site – before I’d actually seen one. It’s nice to finally have fast connections. But I gotta say, I miss the sound of that modem. Dialing, ringing, and then – just when you think it’s not going to work – connecting. Ahhh.

I was working in a Scottish outpost of IBM at their Greenock manufacturing site. And working off an old workstation terminal – a huge shock to the system, having just moved from a London management consultancy where I’d been Mac’ed up.I remember using telnets and ftps to access internet info and, for a while, a text-based system to browse the WWW. Hearing all these wonderful things about graphics and ease of use, while I plodded through a black screen with green luminous letters…It was 1996 before I got an official, wired-up PC on the desk, running OS2 Warp and Netscape…

So everyone has memories as far back as DOS days. Well, maybe not you, Wade – a lot longer before you were 12

Really? There’s a wwholiday for the www? Neat!
I remember quite specifically where I was when I first discovered the web, but not when it began. My uncle had a computer at his business office and one at his home. I remember staying the weekend with he and my aunt and staying up all night chatting on Nickelodeon AOL. I think I was about 12 at the time and it was a really neat experience for me to be connected up with kids my age from across the country. It’s funny to think back on it now considering I had no clue what social networking, e-mail, or podcasting was. The wonderment of youth.

I remember when everything was still in MS DOS and shortly aftewards was when AOL came out. I think it was 1993 when I first started using it. I had no clue it what turn in to what it is today. Especially with all the new podcasting, facebook, MySpace where people can basically advertise their products for free. I remember trying to use the internet as a phone about 10 years ago, but now it is as simple as other windows programs. The biggest thing that has affected the way I use the internet is e-mail to stay in contact and the ability to pay your bills and online banking. I know it will continue to expand and I am really interested in seeing where it goes.

I was in graduate school when I first discovered the World Wide Web, through Mosaic, on a grayscale monitor, in 1994. By late 1995 I’d moved my electronic journal <a href="http://www.didaskalia.net" rel="nofollow">Didaskalia</a> from a gopher/ftp ASCII format into HTML, which I naturally wrote by hand, as there weren’t any WYSWIG text editors yet. We’ve come a long way, baby.
