Oh yes, I remember those days and my 300baud modem (later upgraded to 1200/75 baud) and BBS (before most BBS's were connected to the Internet) - in those days, the people I was chatting with were people I already knew in real life - mostly friends from Uni. My first web browser (which came along later) was Mosaic - the uni project that was the precursor to Netscape Navigator.
Re: When Was The First Time You Met Someone You Met From the Internet
The first time I had met someone from AFF was on December 26 2005, Boxing Day, invited by Lindsay Wilson to the BNE First Class Lounge. I was off to SIN then BKK whilst Lindsay and Vicky were on their way to the good old US of A.
Since then I have been to 3 Ozfests, an FT AGM in BNE, a Kiwi Mainland Do and countless meetings at airports (most notable the F lounge run last year), Golf clubhouses (Ric), Holiday Inns, Grand Finals to meet up with wonderful people who all have a common hobby/passion.
It is sad to miss the AFF gathering this weekend but I will at CHC for the Kiwi Mainland DO, the next FT AGM in BNE and hopefully next Ozfest in CNS....
