Ten years ago Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule, Tony Blair was elected Prime Minister of Britain, Titanic made box-office history, Jacko had a son with Debbie Rowe, Princess Diana, Mother Theresa, and Gianni Versace all kicked it for the last time and Eric Clapton got the record of the year with “Change the world”.*

It was 1997..

  • I was 19 going on 20
  • I started studying Information Technology at Peninsula Technikon
  • I experienced LAN gaming for first time
  • …as well as online porn
  • The legend known as “Acidman” was born in the chatrooms in Soho on GeoCities
  • Met my oldest bud, Ralton again after being at the same Primary school with him. Something he still doesn’t recall
  • Plucked up the courage to chat to RenĂ© (the wife) after eyeballing her for weeks
  • And discovered the tireless bother known as the cellphone. (I didn’t own one till 2000)

Where were you and what were you doing in 1997?
