i used to go online in 95-97 from my dads friends place. he was the only person at the time i knew who had the net. then in christmas of 97 we got a years worth of internet as a christmas gift. i started making adult sites six months later. for whatever reason the net wasn't popular at all around my area, or so it seemed. 14.4 modem, man we've come a long way.
you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

Massive long ways since then!
I remember messing about with this crap I build and wondering what the hell to do with it
One thing that was like magic and *very impressive* was the way ya could lead surfers up garden paths and taking them to an imaginery cash register - tho that never existed in real life - but showed the capability for marketing. I was used to spending 1000's each week on print media to get interested heads - the net was doing the same thing for next to nothing.
Don't know the year exactly but I had a 386 home with windows 3.2

you wouldnt believe how much $$$ Ive made with the BBS. Scanned pics and ppls downloading them on a 1200/75 for $25 a month. They called from germany belgium everywhere. Those were the days
I was like 13-14 yo lol
Yep. I hear ya mate. I remember playing around on a number of them before the 'internet www' as we know it now. Dialing in to different numbers, and I used it mainly to chat with people back then. Also played some m.u.d.d.'s. Funny what passed as games back then before the WOW, EQ, and alike. LOL.
Then came along the AOL, Compuserve and Prodigy. I started out on Prodigy first. Then was gone away to college for part of the early 90's so I mainly used their networks for the 3-4 years away from home. The net in current form I believe started '91-92.
11 years for me. I'm 30 now and got started in my first year of university.
I learned how to use the internet and the computer in 1997 because of my passion for Romance....I am sure I was surfing my friends sites then... Porn changed my life....

yeah i used it to chat too, the feeling the first time i chatted with a girl in the US and got reply back in like one hour, it was amazing. Times sure changed.
1992 or 1993 is when I started. I think it was something like $4/hour.
Yeah, I remember it was something like 'x' amount of hours, and e-mails free. Then like $1 an hour, or .25ct per e-mail after. That was on Prodigy back then. They may have offered other plans at that time, but I remember that is what I had and getting an enourmous overage bill.

That they have for sure.
The amount of material out there. The ability to find people locally. All the niches, and technology. Just the overall use and application. I remember it was more a 'for fun' thing back then. Instead of reading a book, you would log on for a chat, dink around, or m.u.d.d.. I remember early on, I would use it mainly for fantasy baseball and football. Something to pass the time.
Yep. The times have changed so much. I remember back in the late 90's when the net changed to the 'pay to play' type of format. Before then you could have enourmous sites, free bandwidth, hotlinking up the yingyang, and it seemed like everyone had a website!
Now it's more the corporate pushing their way in, and things have changed in the past 5-10 years. But when I think back to the old text, BBS, m.u.d.d.'s, and having to know DOS for any number of things just to keep a computer working... brings a tear to me eye.
