I recall logging on through a friend over at Cornell to pull up some bio research in the mid 70s.

And here I thought I was an ‘old-timer’ because I’ve been using the internet since 1995.

You’re a pioneer!!

My first Internet access was back around 1985 or so, using dial-up access from NY to CA through "the Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link," The WELL.

I used to be fairly active on the C programming language news group, and I have the distinction of having been told by Dennis Ritchie that I was completely wrong in a post I made! :-)

I was using the Campus-Wide Information Systems (CWISs) and Gopher for research purposes around 1992. A friend wowed me with Mosaic using HTTP in 1994. I’ve worked with several colleagues who were at Netscape in Mountain View in the early 90s with Marc Andreesen on the Netscape browser.
