I was 24 in 1993 and it was an account with a Boston area ISP. My email address was cjwoods@world.std.com. I got an email address by default when I subscribed to the ISP's internet access service (dialup unix shell accounts). I bounced between pine and elm for email clients. I had been using (and running) BBS's for a few years by then and started hearing about the Internet in the early 90's, and began accessing it through somewhat questionable means for a couple of years and learned a lot about unix on Ultrix running on some VaxStations in a university, and then SunOS 4.1.3 on Solbourne Sun clone hardware at The World. It was a heady time and I spent endless hours on Usenet news groups, and tinkering with programming languages and learning about TCP/IP networking an unix internals.
I often miss those days.
