I remember as an undergraduate in the late 80s hearing mr_snips talking about the Internet, an unfamiliar term to me (I'd seen and occasionally used Usenet, JANET, etc, but didn't know there was a big overall thing). I asked him what it was and "It's like Gibson's cyberspace," he said. Which I suppose it was, FSVO.

Then talking with e_pepys who was a colleague of Berners-Lee at CERN, at the time the Web was being developed, him explaining to me how it would be a very useful tool for scientific researchers. So that worked out well.

I think back then only computing students of the likes of bibliogirl and wimble got given OUCS accounts as of right; other people had to petition for them, and I couldn't be bothered to :-) Strange to think that within a handful of years I was earning my living running a business pretty much entirely online.
