Although in a bit of a haze by now, I have such fond memories of the MSN. In my early twenties, I had gotten a beta CD of Win95 from dad who ran an IT shop. I stumbled upon the MSN, which had an access point in Norway, and before I knew it I was on the Frog Pond chatting away with really cool people - probably quite a few from Microsoft. Can only remember one name of the group: Pam!
Win95 was also a giant step up from 3.1 and this being a year or two before I got on the Internet it was indeed very exciting stuff. I had left my Amiga a couple of years before, and finally the PC was getting similar level good! I somehow started receiving interim builds by FedEx as well, I must have been providing some feedback that was useful to them.
Back then, at my age, that felt like a huge deal, like I was really part of an insider group. :-)
