I forget the exact year but in the early 90s (I think 1993 or 94), I signed up for a novel service. Online email. Remember this is the early 90s. I was an early adopter even back then.

The internet was mostly character based and mostly used by universities, some larger companies and government. People using the internet were using email, usenet and ftp (and some crazies were using veronica, jughead, archie and gopher).
