Pretty sure it was in middle school, so we are talking like 98-99. It was in the computer lab. Other kids were playing gerbils on the mac while I was surfing I think a world factbook site, I remember clicking on Japan because I was obsessed with catching DBZ on the morning cartoon blocks before toonami was a thing. Seeing girls in kimonos and the usual fluff about ancient honorable Nippon and Tokyo. What about you?

Got our first computer in I think '96? At first my mom put age restrictions on my browsing but I figured out her password and logged on and changed my access rights. I think the first three websites I tried (after I figured out there was more to the internet than just AOL) was either mtv.com, disney, or nickelodeon's website. I used to spend a lot of time playing games on there, back when sites like that had games on them.
