Fortune City for me, eventually convinced my dad to pay for a boxed copy of Macromedia Flash 4 and a real hosting account with front page extensions. I think it even did PHP, which led to lots of messing around with every PHP CMS under the sun, including a lot of time with PHP-Nuke.

I never really figured that every hour spent messing with all that would translate into so much more value than any of my school work. The scope of our computer courses at school was basically touch typing and MS Office 97/98.
