Not sure where it was, I accessed The Rock, run by Paul ... surname escapes me, but he was originally from Gibraltar, hence the name.

My dad went fishing for 'Dungeon Master' hints for me around 1988/89 on American BBs.. but I didn't know that was "the internet" at the time.

First used in 1993. I seem to remember looking at some (very grainy and slow to load) pictures of gems on the Smithsonian website. Ah, it was all Netscape in them days..
I used to use the University of Birmingham Chess server to get a dropped telnet connection so I could get onto MUDs like 'Foothills'.. anyone remember those?
