Yeah, it's kind of amazing. In 1994 I mostly used BBSs, and through an education grant had an entire 30 minutes per day I could use to dial-in to a very spare text-only Internet terminal with gopher access only.

By 1996 I was helping a startup ISP get off the ground and sending out floppy disks with dial-up internet, email software and a web browser and had pretty much just stopped using BBSs.
