WebMemories
I got my first Internet connection in october 1995. At that moment, I used the Netscape 0.96 browser , (came for free with the software from Euronet). 

Shortly after my first online experiences, I started to post some messages in some newsgroups. Funny and very weird experience it was then to get an answer to you question shortly after you posted something. You met other people who were trying things out, who didn’t know what was happening, or how things were working.

The days of complaining to Arko van Brakel (in charge for Euronet then)… all with a 28k8 modem, using Windows3.11… being bugged so often by data-overflow… My 486dx2 computer was not so fast. Around Christmas 1995, I managed to get my first homepage onine… a very basic one… still with a grey background. 

BGcolor only came available with Netscape 2.0. Wow… that was quit an experience… websites became so much better then. Also the first interlaced jpegs…. to see a picture grow on your screen from top to bottom. The introduction af tables in html coed…

Or getting up very early on a sunday morning to download an new browser… those were the day’s. Installing webphone software.. getting a shock because a phone was ringing through the speakers… accepting the call and speaking with some one else “hai, what are you doing?, checking out this program, can you hear me, cool, he he”.  

A lot has happened since then… many good things, some bad things.

These thought came up after reading some of the first newsgroup postings (usenet) in the Google archive:
