What's your online age?

[Valhalla1]

first went online at the local univeristy computer lab in 1994.

Win 3.11 for workgroups with trumpet winsock and Netscape 1.0 or 2.0, I can't remember which. Eudora for email. so almost 10 years. I was 14 actual years old at the time

man back then it was awesome, I had a fat univeristy pipe from the beginning. I only suffered a total about about 2 years on dialup at home, when I didnt go to the university lab, we got a cable modem in 99 I think


oh yeah..I remember the first time I saw porn on the net for the first time too.

I was like I said around 14, and I searched for "sex" on webcrawler or some such. I was truly scared by the "YOU MUST BE 18" links for a good week or so. ;-) so I skipped those until I found a link with some naked chick laying on a lawn chair. I was like JACKPOT BABY !!

I figured out how to save jpg's to a floppy but I couldn't view them at home on my win 95 box because it didnt have internet explorer at the time, and I had only a 256 color video card at home. but I installed some jpg viewer program and I had a blast downloading jpgs from the T3's at school and taking them home for later viewing.. lol

ahhh to be in 1995 again

Started BBSing in '95.. Might've even been 94.

So 9 or 10..

Crap. Hmm... 11 years off a Prodigy account. Wow. I can't believe that. The BBS's and shareware I would plunder after HS.
My personal AOL account I activated in 1995 and used until 1999 when my roomies and I got the first set of "test" cable modems around the UCI area during my *cough* 5th year in school. Sheesh. It's amazing how quickly I forget the things I've taken for granted.

 

[Leetman]

Started with a 486 Running Mosiac through Compuserve on a 14.4. I remember taking up a big chunk of my 10 hours downloading the original Quake demo in 1996.

I was about 9 y/o...back with BBS's and such, completely text based, long before the internet age. I first got online with a shiny new 286 pc and 1200 baud modem. LOL Boy have times changed.

My 6th grade math class was one of three schools in Massachusetts to experiment using computers to help teach math to grade school kids. A TTY dialed into a computer 2-3 towns distant using a 75 baud acoustic coupler modem.

I spent a lot of time on that system. (I also managed to mess up the library system - a primative database of user programs - shared by MIT and Mass General Hospital. My teacher got a phone call about that incident.)

That was in 1965...

16 close as I can figure. My first internet experiences were when I was working at the Naval Research Lab and we had usenet access through a VAX 11-785 cluster front end for a Cray.
