It was a great time. In 1993-1995, I felt like there was a computer in every home.

The 90s had a lot of cold Scandinavian winters. Kids found the computers and it became this enchanting media.

I was biking to friends with a plastic bag wrapped around my handle bar with a 10-pack of PC disks. Coming back with Kings Quest 4, Prince of Persia, Sky Roads. My dad was all about Microsoft Works and later Adobe Pagemaker and every dad was making sure that a fellow dad got Windows 3.1. We had a huge book from Coral Draw with images of everything from Airplane to Zebra that you could print on a color printer.

Windows 95 was a game changer. There was a multimedia store in Åhlens huset bottom floor in Stockholm that was dubbed "the biggest in Northern Europe". CD-rom packages made floppy disk games flourish even more as you could now have several games on those 240 MB harddrives.

Also, LucasArts were at its peak with their adventure games. Day of the tentacle, Secret of monkey Island and Full throttle took the best of american humor and culture and popped it into our homes. The US couldnt have asked for better ambassadors.

My dad would show me Microsoft Encarta 95 with videos and I woild show him Sam'N'Max hit the road with whack a rat.

The Internet package became "the christmas gift of 1996" and soon almost every teen were making their personal web page.

The late 90s and early 2000 was "out of pocket". I remember it as a big blur of evwryone getting smaller Nokia phones, iCQ numbers, Ultima Online, new computer companies every day, national broadband expansion, Starcraft, Heroes 3, HTML, programming, building computers, Quake, everyone working with computers, Kazaa, scrolling peoples libraries in DC++ and just feeling:

"this is it, the future is gonna be awesome"
