I do feel OLD when referring to my first experiences on the Internet back in 1995
How do you think I feel when referring to my first experiences on the ARPAnet... back when it had three nodes?

OK, OK... so I was in grade school and was using the teletype in my Dad's home office to dial up to the U. of Utah computer that had an ARPAnet connection so I could connect to the computer at BB&N where my Uncle had written a program that was an arithmetic tutor... but still.

The "Internet" is a newcomer!
