How Long Have You Used The Internet?
 

11 years for me. I'm 30 now and got started in my first year of university.

since 97 or so.

8 weeks and I love i won the lottery 5 times in different countries and some bloke from nigeria wants to send me 12 million + i have a new girlfriend katrina19 on AOl chat

End of 1991 or beginning of 1992. Time flies when you're having fun :)

1995 started

I have used it for 9-10 years now.

started out in the early 90's

95 or 96

Around 95 or 96 for me too.

BBS back in the 80's kids. :thumbsup I dialed in direct with a trs80 model III with a cassette recorder to load software with back in 1980.

damn I feel old now. Been using since the old BBS days.

Since 94 here

all day

...

ah

finally someone who speaks the truth... I had a BBS with a friend, that was in the 80s, 1200/75 scanned b/w pics ppl paid for them to see, half duplex even, had to put the phone down on the modem when it rang lol, lotsa trs80s then yeah...

10 years, as of a week ago

5 years ago

Me too. Hard to believe it's been that long.

:winkwink: There is a pic of one for those who have never seen one. Of course we only had 1 5.25 drive, and we added that much later. We had only the cassette drive for along time.

15 or so years.

Yep. I remember those old crap BBS groups. Ah.. those were the days. That was back when people were still relatively courteous to others. When you had to make multiple disks to reconfigure memory for some of your video games, and there was AOL, Compuserve, and Prodigy in say the early 90's.

:pimp

I ran the BBS of a cromemco first a friend had one, then lateron a TI99/4a and c64. Tapes all the way, couldnt afford a diskdrive then got one for the c64 for like $1500 5,25 too, the cromemco had bigger ones uh 12 inches? huge ones lol, he got it from some company who went bankrupt... lotta noise big screens but it worked...

5mb harddisk lol just reading that damn that sounds weird

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

10 or so years

10 yrs and counting

:smokin

96 or 97 around there

Since 1992, when we lived in a world of text based gophers and newgroups.

96 here...my first porn site in 97 but it was free, lol was I stupid

You said it was a BS thread. And yet you've commented 3 times more than anyone else.

Got a kit in 94-95 with a disk full of stuff like ftp, gopher, archie, ncsa mosaic, etc... Before that I was on Compuserve and before that AOL (like 1991-2).

early 90s i think

Early 90's for me as well.... back in the Netscape 1.0 days. Funny, I used to swear by Netscape, hated IE... then IE overtook it in 4.0 and then Mozilla arrived and I've gone back to hating IE and completely detesting Netscape.

I remember using the internet with my dad through a Prodigy dial-up connection, must have been about 1991.

since 97 or something

Around 1992-1993


(God, if I only knew then what I know now.......)

late 80's on the bbs's ,

1994 that was... So almost 12 years now... I used Mosaic to browse the web at the time. Before that it was mostly BBS's but I didn't use them often because they were too expensive.

Old school BBSer here. Was on BBSes in the late 80s - and then owned a BBS before the 'net existed (as we now know it).

Anyone remember telegard, telix (for dos), bluewave, Cott Lang and renegade? :winkwink:

since 98th....

since 1995

95-96 on the actual internet. Before that was using BBS systems

good 10 years+ now...Damn I feel old

It all started on a BBS a surprisingly long time ago... I think it was 91 or so. Wow... That really was a long time ago! ...I hope I've accomplished something since then.

1867... over a hundred years ago.

it is and not cause youve started it

but because a lot of ppl are gonna post years that are complete bs just to make an impression. I wonder who here actually used the inet when it was at the very beginning. Anyone stating 80s or earlier posts bs or must have been in the army and able to check the mil or arpanet.

92 was the year WWW was released so say rufchild with his 91 and dailup. Complete bs, the www wasnt even there in 91, Cern released it in 92.

Thats why this thread is gonna be full of bs.

yeah I used telix, worked together with windy city, maybe you knew them...

Right, I gotchya.

I started way back when there was only one of them...... ;-)

1996 - I started using the internet to chat on IRC.
