I started using the "Internet" back in college in 1995. My first exposure to the "Net" was through Pine for email, Tin for Usenet Access and Mosaic for Web Access. I'm missing the various other "text" services like Gopher.
Those were the days of innocence. While the web today has a lot of positives, I still regularly use Usenet (though Google) and actively participate on two newsgroups. I plan to be on Usenet for a long time to come and hope others learn about it as well.
