I started using the Internet in 1996 when It got introduced in my university. Like many, I also got introduced with Netscape and IRC(mIRC). It was really fun. IRC used to make new friends. Especially from my part of the world(Pakistan), talking with people in West was a fun experiment. IE3 was new but Netscape(3.x?) was way faster and helped to load images much better on 14.4 Zoltrix modems. I still miss that Internet which was not manipulated by Algorithms and where even Ads were not irritating.
