Can you still remember your first email message?
Mine was in 1994, in the remote island of Camiguin. I was then connected with the Camiguin Telephone Project, a grant of the German government. At that time, there were no ISPs, surfing, cafes, Yahoo, Friendster, etc. It was just plain text BBS (bulletin board system) and email. I got the info about bbs, email and Internet from the pioneer himself, Joel Disini. He sent me a diskettes of a DOS program called FrontDoor and installed them on one of the project PCs - a 486!
