Oh yes. I remember those days. The internet began gaining public popularity around 1995 or so. It has existed many years before that but not until 1995 or so did it begin to take off in the general public realm. I remember how ugly web pages were but at the same time because it was so unsophisticated, I could code HTML by hand without having to resort to a web design program.

Hmm...do you realise that in some of those e-Retailers account you've stored your credit information? If someone knows your password, they could buy items with your account but have it shipped to a different location.
