Funnily enough when I was at Clifton comp around 1997 we got one computer with an internet connection, and I was one of only a handful of students and teachers lucky enough to use it at break time (or realise it even existed).
One of the things I remember doing was reading an article about billionaire Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen buying a second sports team team in the US... and then writing him an email suggesting that he might want to buy Rotherham United.
I never got a reply, but had he listened he could have been ahead of his time!
