When did you get the internet?

[wolfie]

We got the internet in 1996. AOL dialup. my screenname was like penguin1 or something.

And remember how websites used to have really long addresses, usually part of some university network. And the only games were like text adventure games. *pick up bottle* lol.

My first internet was with the local university and was called "freenet". Everything was text based gopher and my screen name was a chain of numbers. Then came the ultra modern compuserve A new chain of numbers but it was pretty cool - then it had a *browser*! I can't remember what it was called but it had pictures and everything. I think it was a precursor to Netscape - Mozilla maybe? I remember the 2400 modem and how exciting was to get the super fast cadillac speed of 9600 WOW! ZOOM!

Dial up in 1999, DSL since the middle of 2000.

I think we got the internet in 1998..it was diap-up though. But then we have cable now.

[EssTer]

I think we got internet on 2001, bot sure but maybe 2000... I dont remember LOL

[MariaM]

It was either 1998 or 1999. We got high speed 2 years I ago (I think)

[popcornbird]

I honestly don't remember. I *think* we got it around 1995........maybe even 1994, but I honestly can't remember for sure. I remember my dad introducing me to the internet when we first got it. I was pretty young and can't remember clearly what year it was, but it was a long time ago.

Round' 1995, I think. My dad used it a lot, I remember, and I remember being on the computer when I was really young..

Didn't get it until 2000. I'm still on dial up because my boss pays for it and I can use it free. One of these days I will get cable hookup and probably say, why didn't I do this sooner.

We got ours about 95/96, can't quite remember - and we have enjoyed it daily ever since!

Next logical question: When did you first get a computer?

We started out with an ZX 81. LOL! Then in 85 we got an Amstrad running on CPM. One or two years later, the first Mac, an SE. After that an LC and then CX, Quadra, Power Mac 7600, G4, and now, it's a G5. We also have a Windows machine.

I think I got mine around 95, I was a freshman in high school.

[Toller 42]

I got it in may 2004.

[Uabassoon]

Randi to answer your question I think I got mine around 1988 or so give or take a year (I was really young!) It was an Apple II e, I remember how high tech our family thought it was! In reality it was pretty much a fancy word processer that could play simple games!

[Freckles]

On the internet - dial up with Earthlink- 1994.
Out of jail - to Comcast broadband 2001.

First PC - Compaq - 1983. Two 64k 5 1/4 floppy drives.

[dappledoxie]

Got the net in about 1998, got my first computer I guess around 1991 or 93.
