When did you first get on the internet?

[dragansk1]

I don't know when I first got on the internet. It was too long ago, maybe around 9-10 years ago. It was on my pc. I am used dial up. It was too slow internet. I waited 5 minutes to load one page and 5 hours to download file from 3MB

1992 with prodigy internet on a packard bell 33mhz Pentium 1 8mb RAM win3.11 gaming computer. Favorite games were Megaman, Mech warrior 1 and 2 and Mega Race.

That thing was awesome sauce. 2004 was when we finally got cable internet.

Hi

I think around 1999

Thanks

I think it was one of those .xxx sites. Not sure, but that's when I first got off.

Edit: Oops! "on the internet". Wait, is that better than getting off? If it is, I need to Google "getting on" in case I'm missing something.

If Aol and CompuServe count then around 1992. Private BBs's even earlier than that.

98' , telephone line and external us robotics 56k modem, which due to sucky line pulled only about 3 kb/s.
30 min per song download .. and starcraft ...

If you were leet/gosu enough we coulda have played against each other haha

Internet started for me around 97/98 with a 56 k modem.(might have been a 3x k modem not sure anymore)
I can remember my parents had to pay a ridic bill once (no flatrates at that time - they came like nearly a decade later in germany) and were really annoyed that the phone wouldnt work while you are online through a dial up connection.

In 1996. I started with an AOL diskette, like so many other people. I remember the harshest insult on usenet back then was to call somebody an 'aol-er'.

2005 I think.. I don't know exactly

[supermeatboy385]

2005-2006 I don't know exactly.

First time was around 1989 while doing my engineering major at college. At home was in 1991, by dialup through a now long gone ISP called SPIN.

I recall using the internet before Mosaic was released, but not long before then. Dial-up bulletin boards were more popular then, as well as anything involving phone lines. I actually had a beige box and a modified tone dialer on standby. Mostly, I accessed the internet on a Windows PC at a friend's house (my family only had a 286 PC and an ancient Apple Macintosh). But soon thereafter, ca. '92, I surfed 'the web' on a Sun SPARC station. Also my first Unix experience.

As I far as I can remember it was June 1995 while studying some computer lessons for kids.
