How I learned to stop worrying and love the web
Mosif decided to infect the net across the ocean with the viral game in which a blogger tells when and how they discover the web and to invite five more bloggers to the confess how long are they Internet users. In the Israeli Blogsphare it developed rather nicely and produced very interesting posts.
In 1994, after few years in field units, I started to study at the Israeli Command and Staff Collage. As an organized person I decided that I need to finally join to the civilized world and write my future papers on a word processing software and therefore I needed to buy a computer. As an organized and motivated person I included in the new computer also a modem, the most advanced than - 14K per second, and started my addiction.
It took me a while to connect to the world wide web because the world of BBS’s was so rich, mostly for me who came from long time at the field, MSN was only a BBS - chats and forums - for subscribers from Israel, Also IOL (which doesn’t exist anymore) and another small one that had a limitation of few hours per user every day and had some celebrities like Sheli Yechimovitz (now a parliament member), Raanan Shaked and many others. But the most important use of the Internet was the ability to chat with than my girlfriend. Until I connected to the net we used to talk over the phone, and run pretty high bills, chatting online on MSN, and later using ICQ was a great deal of saving.
Now lets choose the next round of victims: Ingrid, Yaron, Yuval, Orli and last but not least the man that probably will be happy to block - or at least to regulate it to death the FCC chairman Kevin Martin.

Rogel! This is a first (to participate in one of those ‘tag’ you’re it type things)! How should I proceed?
Let me know tomorrow. Right now, I really ought to turn the computer off and go to bed!
later!
Ingrid
ps, I’d love to!
Here is what you should do Ingrid - you should right a post with the story about how you started to use the web, and you should invite 5 more victims to to the same. It is actually fun
Rogel, this new chain is Carmel’s fault… (Mosif is only a link in the chain)
Ingrid, treat these things as university professors treat questions - an open invitation to talk about what ever you like, and then (only if you like), explain what that has to do with the original question…
btw zoolish, if I did that, I could ramble on forever! anyhow, I followed suit and have tagged another 5 victims. I think only one of them responded, haven't checked back with them. Our summer holiday is now in full swing (i.e., kids at home sans summer camps) so I have to find creative ways to be online without shirking my 'mommy attendance' /supervision..Ingrid
