John,

Geocities (RIP) had nothing to do with this post, but it would have been a good mention. Alan is a live?

Among these stuff, it’s only Tim Berners-Lee that I’m familiar with but who wouldn’t know that? The Internet hasn’t been born yet in Manila in ’94.

Wikipedia says that Alan Emtage is still alive and working away at the web! Now fess up, did thinking about Geocities inspire this post at all? I’ve been walking down memory lane, lately as well. It was probably around ’94 or ’95 that we got cheap dial-up access, and today’s online world doesn’t resemble that in the slightest.

I remember chatting online about that first “eBay” item sold as I’ve been online since March 1995 (aware since Jan/95) .. I think the general consensus in the chat room forum or PowWow or mIrc or wherever we discussed that ..is that THAT has got to be the most stupidest thing ya ever heard. Selling junk online to people you didn’t know? It must be a scam to obtain mailing addresses and identity theft. And geeesh .. just because you add an “e” before a site doesn’t mean it’s really electronic …

(or something like that).

Nice walk down memory lane

Frank, those are such interesting facts, especially the “Felix Cat” and my avatar tells why I think the early 90s stepped into the internet world because the PC became more accessible for public due to (Apple) and (Mircrosoft) operating systems and this is my analysis not a professional conclusion.

Your post reminds me with an earlier one I wrote in the last month; I recall being online since 1998 which is not bad for my generation of the 30s! Thanks for the info and Felix, again
