I do! I also remember using WAP to read the news. Well, my first venture on the internet was December 24 1994, so I am old...

    These days, WAP is something completely different.

    I'm old, so old that I have no idea what you're talking about. Care to indulge an old man?

    Curious, why do you remember day 1 for you?

    I don't know mine. I do remember sitting in my kitchen at the family computer listening to the modem connect via an AOL disc though. Sometime in the late 90s if I had to guess.

    Apparently in 1998 half of all cds produced worldwide had an AOL logo on them. Wild.

    A wireless access point? People still use them all the time… (also old here)

    nah, Wireless Application Protocol - a way of serving web pages that was very similar to the HyperCard technology of the time.

    Ah, the memories of checking football scores on a Nokia 3330 in school playgrounds...

    Oh yeah, that. I didn’t have a mobile then so almost completely missed that even existing, but now it does sound familiar having been dredged up from the depths of my memory.
