My First Internet

My first internet connection pre-dates the WWW; I dialed up the university library through the special menu on the screen, waited for a high pitched screeech that was the two machines connecting with each other, and then tree driven menus appeared necessitating going up and down the various tree limbs to find what you were looking for, because there was no search function, or at least one that wasn't so geek that only a high level programmer would know the code to do it. And, because it was communicating through what we now so charmingly call a "land line," it took time and money because that's the way it used to be, expensive and slow. So I logged on at night, the later the better, the later the cheaper.
