The first foray into the modern internet was 1996 on my grandma's 386 Tandy. My uncle was (and still is I guess) the editor for the online Fly Fisherman magazine, so every new tech that came out he would try and integrate. Like virtual tours of fishing areas and stuff. I spent a lot of time there and on the national pastime for teenaged kids, even though 56k was a pipe dream for me:
