I remember paying l8ike 1.99 an hour or something through compuserve

I was on prodigy also

And I was on like three BBS's in the day on my c-64

 

[UnatcoAgent]

I was on 1996, but I have nothing to prove that, and I bet a lot of people here were on before that.

 

[TwiceOver]

My father's domain quite a while ago. Linky

 

[flyingboujanero]

I still have my Intel external modem, a screaming 14.4, bigger than a book... Was back on bulletin boards, and then the start of the interweb.

 

[Toastedlightly]

I was on in 1996 on an AOL account. LilSingBoy I think is what it was.

Was AOL 2.5 the first version with WWW access?

 

[Aimster]

I was member 50 of AOL.
It was my dad, but still I got to go in a chatroom for .1 seconds

 

[lobadobadingdong]

pfff. I helped invent the internet, just ask Al Gore.

actually, it was in '95 when we first signed on with our local dial up company. (I have no proof, but remember it was the summer after my freshman year of highscool)

I remember using AOL when it was just a chat dialup.

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

Wow, that post was made almost 9 years ago

 

[her209]

Downloaded images off of the bulletin boards using 2400 baud modem.

 

[Sluggo]

I have a note from Al Gore that says I was the second person on the internet. Al, of course, was the first.

I remember one of my earliest pains in the ass was trying to d/l IE 3.0 on a 14.4 modem.

 

[UNCjigga]

I dunno about the Internet, but I started BBSing back in the 5th grade on a 2400baud modem (1988), in 1989 I logged onto Usenet for the first time (after watching my dad send messages back and forth between DEC's sales office in Australia.) My father bought a 14400 baud modem (venerable Courier) the day it came out, and we experimented with Compuserve and Prodigy before switching to AOL when they first released version 2.0 (1992?) My family's been on AOL ever since, but around 1994 I switched to pure dialup PPP after becoming frustrated with AOL's "web browser" (seriously their first version of WWW was the worst hacked crap evar!) By this time Netscape was already at 1.2 or something, so I was never a pure NCSA Mosaic user.

 

[RossMAN]

I got my first dialup account summer 1994 before the days of Outlook/web browsing.

PINE, IRC, MUD and Lynx

 

[Toastedlightly]

Can you find out dates on ICQ numbers? I have my old number but no password. Look at me on 72882145.

 

[FrustratedUser]

I was on in '94 using e-mail and using MOSAIC to download drivers for LabVIEW from National Instruments.

<--- Can't prove it.
