Evidently, the Internet is now 25. How time flies. C|NET plans a series on the anniversary. For those of us who were there at the beginning (even before MOSAIC with telnet, gopher, etc.), this series will likely bring back many memories. For the digital natives, who missed out on history, this will provide you a way to catch up.
I remember when we even installed a second line, the teen line was really for the computer, so we could still have access to the phone for phone calls during the evening.
