I was in first or second grade in school, back in 1992-1993. We got computers at school with Windows 3.11 I think, and a cool browser that went by the name Netscape Navigator. Back then, Altavista was THE search engine to use, although, we, as, what, 7-years olds, didn't have any clue whatsoever what you would wish to search for. A couple of years later, we had "internet time", two classmates at a time, 15 minutes time supervised internet time I remember me and my friend searching for pictures of Zelda 64, the ocarina of time, drooling over the then awesome graphics.

A classmate got banned from using internet at all, when he put "Spice Girls" without the quotes in the search box for altavista, hahaha. Those were the times... if you wanted to find the band you had to like put +"spice" +"girls" -"nude" and things like that to get a decent hit.

-nude and things like that. Indeed. Thank god I mostly escaped being supervised at a computer. Now adults are being supervised though.
