The internet and you!

[katmai]

1991 or 1992 as my mother worked for UCSD so I could dial up to their school internet.

[Crazy_Ivan80]

1999 through dialup.
right in time to join the last few months of the Volition BB (Freespace eh) and become one of the older inhabitants (though by no means among the first) of the Hardlight Freespace Community.

by the end of 2000 we were on broadband

[Fate]

1996, when AOL was cool. 

[Razgovory]

I remember when I used to pirate dial up from the local bank.

Oh come on. 'Welcome. To AOL'. Magic.

[Caliga]

Junior or senior year of high school via a BBS... so 1992 or 1993.

[Sahib]

2000 IIRC. Pay-by-minute dialup 

[Duque de Bragança]

November 1998 and broadband (cable).

[Slargos]

In 94, I was of the firm opinion that the internet was a stupid fad and that BBS should be enough for everyone. BRE FTW.

In 95, I had built my homepage and was competing with a buddy on getting hits. He won, mainly by making subsections on the xfiles, monkey island and michael jackson.

[MadImmortalMan]

94. On AOL.




IT WAS THE ONLY THING AVAILABLE OK.

[ulmont]

Sometime around 1992, through Delphi (it had full Usenet, email, gopher, etc.).

[Ed Anger]

94. On AOL.




IT WAS THE ONLY THING AVAILABLE OK.

You don't have to apologize for AOL. The nerds that got aggravated over AOL needed to get laid.

[DisturbedPervert]

Probably around 95 or so, I don't remember.  Used Prodigy and BBS prior to getting real internet.
