A list of usenet groups on my dad’s computer around 1989. Porn groups, I think, but that may be mixed up with another later memory.

Ask your dad when you’re old enough.

Not as dead as his joke.

LOL, sorry for you loss.

This is about all I can remember for my first online experience. Just remember opening AOL and not exactly knowing what else to do except click around random links, looking at whatever websites I came across, all with that classic 90s basic HTML look.

Café Eblana: a final fantasy fan site. I think I saw a reference to it in a Game Players magazine, and looked it up on a school computer around 1996.
