RE: Re: OT Home Highway, is it worth it?

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

John,

I started on _computers_ a long while earlier. The 386sx was the first
PC I used to access the Internet AT HOME!

The first computer I used - a RM
The first networked computer - ran CP/M
The first computer I owned - a spectrum (in the origianl plastic case)
The first hardware upgrade - the "bigger" case for the Spectrum
The first Internet access - a Sun 3/50 running SunOS 4.0
The first Home Internet access - a 386/SX with a 2400baud modem

Erm... Like you I have 20 years experience of owning a PC (and about 25
of using one.) I also have 13 years of Internet experience...

Now I feel old ;-(
