When did you join the internet?

2002 where all i would do is play miniclip and popcap games for 30mins until my parents wanted to make/take a phone call lol

We had dial up since about 1998, if not before that when we had a machine running goodness knows what OS (Windows 3.1 I would assume). Not that it made any difference to me personally, at that age I still thought by turning off the monitor you were turning off the computer...

I remember using the internet for things like the blue peter website in the very early days, and school teaching us how to use emails around the same time in 2002.

Every internet video seemed to use real player and you'd have to wait forever for it to buffer a super low res stream!

And when Windows Live Messenger used to look like this:

Until about 2009 every time the phone rang the internet would disconnect, thankfully I managed to persuade my mum to switch to cable!

Long ago, back when you couldn't use the landline at the same time as the internet and the dial-up tune would sound.

My first account I can link back to is 2006 so I probably started in 2005ish. My first internet memory was going to a fake site and downloading a trojan, I wasn't allowed on the internet for a bit after that.

1998 for me. No idea what I was doing. Dad was into computers, we had dial up back when 14.4k was a fast upgrade. Apparently it cost quite a few dollars more for the extra speed - oh dad! Had my first Hotmail account in '99, shano8 which doesn't work anymore and I lost/forgot the password after changing it from 123456. YOU GO BLINGER!
