I was pulling porn in '84 off of a local BBS network with a Commodore64 and a modem that would've started uploading if it had been any slower.
In the mid-90's, while I was majoring in CompSci at UNO, a classmate turned me on to a mailing list that listed about 50 or so FTP porn sites each week, none of which lasted more than a day or so before disappearing. Unfortunately, we had monochrome monitors in the lab, so the pictures left a bit to be desired at the time! However, I did find Usenet at about the same time and began participating in the newsgroups. Only problem with that was being unable to configure a newsgroup client, so I had to access messages through a multi-step click-through via the Mother of all Gophers.
It was another two years before someone else showed me how to install Mosiac on my school account and I found the World Wide Web. From then on, it was smooth sailing! I established my first site the same month that AltaVista went online...
