The internet & computers

[Jordy]

Just wondered how long everyone has had internet and computer access.

I was just looking through some broadband records and we've had broadband since January 2003, though we trialled dial-up a little in 2002. Our first family computer would of been in about the year 2000-2001 and it was a Dell XPS Windows 98 computer (XPS sounds good these days, back in the day it was far from it). We weren't that early of family's to get a computer and get online, but we weren't really late either.

1998, Windows '98, Dial-up

PC was a Packard Bell, probably had 128MB RAM.

Then around 2002 we got an Acer laptop, very crappy, 256MB RAM, dial-up (no wireless)

Then 2006 I got an Acer Desktop - very good, lasted me for a few years.

Then in June this year I got a Dell Laptop, tis excellent.

I remember as far back as our ISDN line... slow ol' days! I had a Fujistu PC with 64mb RAM and I can't remember the CPU

But before I was born we had some dragon computer... one of the first commercially available.
