Turns out I'm about the same age and from the same city as the author. And I'm telling you, hardly anyone had an internet connection at home in the mid-90's where I grew up. My father's job provided him with a callback modem hookup, so we got on the Internet in, I think, 1995. This was a rarity and the phone bills would have been pretty bad if my family'd had to pay them.
