Is it time for you to try out "internet"?

The part about Mosaic sounds promising - it may make "internet" resources more accessible for the average person.

Youtube has quite a few, perhaps all, episodes of "The Computer Chronicles".

On edit, for you power users with money to burn:

1. When I first got on the Internet it was all Unix command line, and the World Wide Web did not exist

We had TCP/IP, NNTP, FTP, SMTP, POP, TELNET, but no HTTP, no browsers, no hyperlinks, nothing to click since the mouse hadn't been invented yet. Email was via programs called "ELM", or "PINE", and the only way to connect was dial-up with an acoustic modem running 10 characters per second, or, (if you got there early enough or stayed late enough) one of the ASR 33 teletype machines in the University computer center that was hardwired into the CDC 6600 mainframe.

Oh, and we didn't call it "Internet" back then. We called it "ARPANET".

2. My modem was 300 baud

3. Awesomeness. Saving for later! :) n/t
