For me, my Dad brought home a laptop from work and we looked up pictures of pokemon and went to the Simpsons website, circa around 1999. How about you?

My family used a WebTV for god knows what reason, so for a long time I only saw the internet through that portal. I think I spent most of my time on a Sailor Moon fansite just staring at screen shots of the characters.

Oddly enough, I remember the website said it was built with WebTV at the bottom, but I never learned how to upload images on the website builder... I had my own shitty WebTV site but I had to choose from the provided clip art.

Obligatory WebTV connecting music.
