It was an interesting time. The internet was there but the phone network hadn't faded into obscurity yet, so phreaking was still a thing. 2600, Cult of the Dead Cow, Phreak and many more were fun sources for mischief and information. I can honestly say that they all greatly increased my interest in programming and computers, setting me on my future path for life. There isn't a lot like that anymore which is a little sad, but I look upon it fondly. The internet had to grow up at some point I guess.
