The University of Victoria (Fine Arts Faculty) had a donation from Sun of their workstations back in 1992-3 and I was hired as a junior admin. Around 1993-4, part of my job was creating web pages on SunOS with HoTMetaL as an html editor and using NCSA Mosaic as the browser and the CERN httpd daemon. As cool as that was, I was totally blown away by playing netrek on the server at Carnegie Mellon University with people all over the continent.
In retrospect, it was pretty cool to have stumbled upon the early web as a naive young student. Since them, the changes and the speed of change is awe inspiring.
