How & When You 1st Saw the WWW?

My first machine was in late 1994, it was an IBM 486/SX 25mhz machine with 8mb of memory and a 270mb hard drive running OS/2! The sales person convinced me that OS/2 was a far better operating system than Windows and said "Windows will not last another year, because OS/2 is stable and easier to use!"

I soon after that got in to BBSing and ran a BBS using WWIV software until about '97 when dial up internet came to my area.
