I started on the Net with ICONZ in 1994 . None of the above existed then apart from Compuserve .

Iconz office (if you could call it an office) looked like a rundown 2 room student flat with matching sofa complete with holes where the boys slept from time to time and a few dozen modems squeeling away in the second room .
