First time I used FTP to send our project in Sweden to the schematic capture company Mentor Graphics.

Took 6h, but they managed to find an extremely unusual bug that caused crashed when zooming into a a schematic with a symbol containing a half circle on odd days.

I became the talk of the company for using internet for the first time to solve a complex problem and received a leather jacket from Sun Microsystem as present.

☀️ Summer online in the late 90s? Disney hoped you’d start at Go․com.

It launched in 1998 as a bold web portal strategy to unify Disney’s online presence—ESPN, ABC, Disney—all under one digital roof. But starting in 2001, it was gradually stripped of services & branding. Now it's just directs to a page about the Disney Company.
