Yagyaraman Mahadevan

Me and Madhu were discussing about Internet before few years…. If I look back on these items now, it is funny…

1. My first hard disk size was 2 GB. (Now, my monthly download limit on broadband is 4 GB
2. I used to lay wire everytime from the hall where the landline phone was kept to the room where my Computer and Dial up modem were kept for me to browse
3. I had to browse fast because someone might call and line will appear BUSY for a long time
4. I browsed early mornings so that browsing speed is fast and it was compatively cheaper
5. I was really excited and felt on TOP of the world when I created my first email id yagyaraman@hotmail.com (I still remember when I said to my father “Now anybody from anywhere in the world can send an email and I will receive it in few seconds time)
6. I still remember, how I recorded voice as wave file and sent it to my sister in USA free of cost
7. I have used floppy disk (big and small ones) to copy files from my house to the browsing center before we had Internet in our house
8. Hearing song as MP3 file in the Computer was a big accomplishment as the Computer can also know to SING A SONG
9. I have bought a single blank CD @ Rs. 150/-
