A formative experience

I was talking to a friend recently about going to university and discovering the internet properly for the first time. We both used it do something we now do a lot.

The Windows computers had the first four versions of Netscape Navigator on them (the big browser at the time). I used them to see what websites worked in each of them. From what I remember, most things worked in the last three and hardly anything worked in the first one. Frames certainly didn’t and that was the big trend of the time.

At the time I had no idea it was the sort of thing you could get a job in. And now I get paid to do that sort of thing.
