I've been on the WWW for almost 4 years now; I originally bought a WebTV, a relatively inexpensive way to get on the Internet. My son, soon set me up a website, and I proceeded to attempt to trackdown a few old acquaintances from the Corps.
That, initially, turned out not so good; so I switched to posting stories from Old Salts--when I could get them to send me stories--most are/were reluctant to have anything to do w/PCs, etc. Still true, but to a lesser degree, I think, as I now see many more Old-Timers on the Net. I also got interested in Old corps Marines History, and began digging into little-known aspects of our history -- myths, legends, and downright lies, etc.
Has proven very intersting, and I spend many hours w/both my multiple websites, Gunny G's Old Salt Marines Tavern Sites, and also GyG's OSMT (Forum).
Best
