Around 1995, I started hearing about FTP access from a local BBS before I
really knew what FTP and the internet was.  When I first started learning about
the internet, that was right about when I was using Windows 3.1 a lot for
certain tasks.  I started using the internet with Windows 3.1 - Trumpet Winsock
to dial into my ISP, Netscape Navigator for browsing the web, and the various
other Windows-based programs for internet use.

Around that time, the web site TUCOWS came around - It stood for The Ultimate
Collection Of Winsock Software.  Now I believe they've changed the W to stnad
for "Windows".
