Me and a mate sneaking on early in the mo9rning to look up Megadrive cheat codes, probably around 1995
. We had to sneak on because not only was it dial-up, but it was charged by the minute at local rate
. The real internetting didn't start until around '99 / 2000 when we finally got "all you can eat" dial-up so could go on for more than 15 minutes at a time, heh. Though I'm sure it was only free at off peak times, so after 6pm on weekdays and then all weekend. I remember waiting impatiently until 6pm to log in... then my mum complaining all night about me tying up the phone line. We eventually got a second phone line put in...
