I started by printing these off and selling them for $2.00 to friends
A few years later a friend show me the Internet for the first time using Winsock + TCP + NEtbios or something like that. and then Archie & Veronica to see web pages, and of course, Usenet. I made money downloading porn from Usenet and selling it to friends too...
I finally took it seriously when I started registering domains in 1998.
FUN!
