Back in 99..started with MSN and Yahoo

So only for 3 years then? Noob... :winkwink:

Usenet and mailists in '89.

BBSes before that.

I was sysop of a waffle bbs with a usenet feed from 90 to 94.

i started using the internet when i went off to college in the fall of 97.

early 94 with a shell account

late 80's on bbs's before I was on internet

Finals week in my second year in high school, I had an AOL disk with a free 10 hours, I was off school early and nobody was home to watch. So, I put it in and the next thing I knew I was done my 10 hours...later that month they delivered the phonebill in four envelopes and my mother nearly killed me - that was 1993 and there weren't any local numbers to us so I had been calling Philly for 10 hours at a time. This still gets mentioned by my mother from time to time.

Luckily, after that I discovered local BBSes and that was my real home until the web - still miss the feel of an old BBS too.

I'm remembering back and wasn't AOL more just a big bbs than an internet portal until more recently when they realized they had to change to the internet? It seems like a long time ago now thinking back....

and remember those silly web tv things that some people got?

mid 90's

Oh ya... early 90's for the "internet"...

But I've been exchanging data between computers via modem since the late 70's.

My first contact with the internet was in 1995 with a text based VT220 terminal connected to a VAX system. I was able to connect to BBS's using telnet and download girls using FTP or the lynx browser :-)

19fifty...

guess it was year 1997...hahahaha...

'98 here....

1995-1996 in the days of BBSes and IRC and Fidonet. Anyone else remember Logical Solutions? :P

I got addicted back in late 1995/early 1996 when the Sega Saturn game system came out with their modem and keyboard adaptor. I loved it so much that after a few months, I picked up a 75Mhz Pentium system, ha ha. I can't remember the other specs on it.

2000, I was crazy about seeing fighter plane pictures. Second site i visited was fbi.gov .. and after that :-/

porn and chat rooms lol

Same type of Box here. Except for there were two things the got me on the internet:
SexHound
and finding hacks for warez.

Ever since the first comp I bought, i never bought a piece of software ever since.

So what you are saying is that you're a theif. What's the matter between the 2 sles a month you make and you're Burger King job you can't afford to pay for your shit? What's you're address? When I need something I want to go to your house and steal it. It should be ok with you. Why pay for something when you can take it for free, right?

yesterday

I was introduced to Bianca's chat site in either 95 or 96.

around '97.

Well when did windows 3.1 came out. I guess I was like 10 years old back then.

1995 I think. Was 15 and life was great! :) Wish I bought some domains though :(

Hey... I was on the other computer when Gore created it. Kind of like Graham Bell and Watson.... I was Watson!!!!!!

Seriously... 91/92.. in college.. AOL and BBS stuff.

when i was first year high school because we had this computer subject..

I think I check the internet in 1996 or maybe 7 for the first time

1994 at school. The very first thing me and a couple friends did was a search for "hooker prices in amsterdam", i kid you not.

probably around 98 or 99

1995 - and for those of you quoting BBS timelines, BBS was not internet. There was fido though..

it was 1998.

What a joke. I was online before Al Gore ever heard the word "Internet"

It wasn't until the launch of the Virgin Islands Freenet that I got serious, but we didn't have web access right away ? instead using Archie, Veronica and Gopher from the DOS command line (you youngsters may not have heard of these pre-web tools).

I remember the sun shining the day I got one of the first copies of NCSA Mosaic.

? does that tell you how old I am or how long I've been at this?

:1orglaugh

I remember even before AOL came out, and im only in my early twenties lol....i had big floppy disks real flat, that had games on them....that computer was ancient compared to this Dell lol and probably cost 5 bux now lol
