Must have been around 98, once a week my Dad and I went to the local Collage's computer rooms to check his email and download new apple updates.
I always used to watch till one day someone didn't use up all of his allotted computer time, so I just used the machine till it ran out of time.
If I remember correctly I visited the Lego Online store. :)
