In 1998, when most of my friends were still using paper and envelope to send their mails, I made my first Hotmail email address. For more than 4 months, there are no emails other than junk mails there. Oh yes, plus one email I forced my friend to send me, titled “test” with content “okay, okay, here is an email for you”.
Later in the same year, I learnt HTML and made my first web page. I was so excited to have a simple HTML page with my scanned photo on it, my name with different colors each character, then a big font of “Welcome to My Homepage”. The next day, I went to university’s computer lab to create a Geocities account to upload my homepage. From all people that I know, I was the first to have a personal homepage on the net, even though it was just a single lame page.
