My absolute earliest memory of going on the internet was my grade school librarian firing up Trumpet Winsock on some Windows 3.1 machine when I was in second grade (circa 1995). He navigated to nfl.com and then printed the website out.
I remember thinking "this is pointless" but went on to build my first web pages only a few years later (4th or 5th grade).
- jlgaddis 11y agoYou just reminded me... I recently discovered that a website I made when I was a teenager is still online. I could still remember my username, was able to login, and was shocked to see the date stamps on the directory listing. The oldest file there is dated 19 May 1997 [0]. I intend to celebrate its 20th birthday in another ~16 months. [0]: There's actually one slightly older (28 Apr 1997), but it's an image (.gif), not a .html file.
