Depends on your viewsetting.

I did that for a couple of years too. I got onto the Internet 93, so we enjoyed
the joy of NCSA Mosaic 2.4 when we went for the luxuary. Archie and Xarchie
together with unhealthy doses of classic FTP was the drug of the day.

I started coordinate the EE-student organisation webpages at the Uni in spring
94, that was before the web-making was a real buissness (if it ever was).
I left that a year later since I was going other places (I had started to work
for the Uni instead and that took my attention away from EE-student buissness).
