My Story

“I realised this is a revolution. I could access any information on so many topics, I found a place where I could connect to other people like me”

It was a warm spring day in the south of England and I was on my way to the local Computer fair. Walking into to the fair, I was surrounded by tables and stalls piled high with all things computer from Hard drives to CPUs , Printers to networking.

With a crisp £20 note, I was ready to find myself some bargain tech to take home and tinker, explore and learn with. Looking through the stalls, I found a new boxed 33.6Kbps parallel dial up modem, I hadn’t set out to get connected to the internet but the idea of connecting my computers to others from anywhere in the world seemed exciting.

On a semi whim therefore I brought the modem, and on the way home popped in to my local Dixons to pick up a CD for the first free ISP in the UK “Freeserve”. After getting home and getting it all hooked up, the drivers and the freeserve software installed, I hit the dial button.

The modem made a noise like an electronic canary, and within less than a minute I was connected to the Internet. After completing the setup steps, creating my first account and email address I was on the Freeserve homepage. For the next 2 hours I was transfix, exploring this new digital world.
