I will start. This is a bad example, but when I first had access to the internet people in America who weren't computer savvy pretty much only had a few options. The most popular was America Online, or AOL.
When I was about 13 or 14 my dad got AOL (by this time they had recently stopped charging per-minute) and this was sort of my first intro to the internets. My only other experiance was one time I stayed over at my aunts house and my cousin showed me how if you typed "nude" into the search engine you could see naked girls (though it was also on AOL and we tried using the "keyword" function, we saw no boobs.)
Anyways, soon enough, after making my screen name (someonepointless) on AOL I got bored, I eventually discovered Progz, Toolz, and Punterz. Looking back, its amazing how much these things made me like the internet. Finally, I could have some fun.
Here is a website that apparently still has some for download.

If you're completely lost here is a rundown.
Progz: As far as I know this is a general term, meaning any program made with AOL "hacking" in mind. A prog is like a suit, A good one contained Macros, Mass mailers, Chatroom games, Pinters, and Punters.
Toolz: From what I can remember, Toolz were similar to Progz, but somehow more advanced.
Punter: A Punter was (I'm guessing) a script of sorts. At the time the fastest modems were 56k, and those were leet. With those circumstances, doing something simple like receiving an IM was much more intensive than it is today. What a punter did was send someone IMs so fast that there modem couldn't keep up, this always resulted in the person losing there internet connection. So if someone pissed you off, you kicked them off of the internet. It was a blast.
O.k., my my buzz is drooping, so that's all for now.
