I have been working online for almost 10 years now. I have been familiar with the internet since before the concept of a website really existed. Back in those days, there was no such thing as a www or a dot-com. You connected to what was called a Bulletin Board System (BBS) and you did so using a phone number. You would literally dial a phone number to connect to the BBS and you would browse the BBS using a text interface. Obviously, this is a far cry from the websites we use today.
