I said 1994 or earlier, cause I was using the net at school & at friends houses. We were just too poor to get a computer until the end 1998.. ok ok ok we didn't pay for the computer, it was a gift from out rich uncle who changes his work computer every couple of years & hands them out to family members & friends.... & then we got the net right away & shortly I met Rob on it hehehe Jan 30th 1999
