When did you first use the internet?

I remember using it first in first grade (1994). I just watched an old episode of Saved by the Bell and they featured it in a show debuted in 1989 and I got to wondering when it really started the way we use it.

I was playing putt putt at Celebration station in 1992 or 3 and a kid there was telling me about it.
A week later I had compuserve on my Packard Bell.
eta-- it was Prodigy, not Compuserve, but we switched to AOL when the $29.99 a month plan came out.
Prodigy was pay by the hour.

I think it was to look up "Your Momma" jokes.

Summer of 1995. I was at my friend's house and we trolled chatrooms. His 9 year old brother got a nude Jenny McCarthy pic sent to his email account. It took like 30 minutes to download.

Mid 90's in CEBA. They had a sweet computer lab (at the time).

94 in high school. Went to cnn.com just to check if it was working.

Early 90's at MRTigerFan's house we unsuccessfully searched for boobs on his AOL.

95ish

1993 or 94, there were hardly any sites and most people didn't have email addresses.
To get a msn.com or aol.com email address you had to pay monthly.

Some of the local computer BBSes I used in the late '80s/early '90s networked with BBSes in other states. Not sure if that would be considered "Internet."
A friend of mine also used a national dial-up service called Q-Link on the Commodore 64 in the late '80s/early '90s. It was basically just a few chat rooms.
My high school also had a Prodigy (or was it Compuserve) account setup on a computer in the library in the early '90s. I would get on it to read Roger Ebert movie reviews.
Starting using the Internet full fledged (complete with Netscape browser) in 1996.

I was in 5th grade, so
I guess 1996ish. We were at EPCOT and they had a section (I think it was called innoventions or something like that) with a bunch of computers all set up to get the internet. I remember my dad went to theadvocate.com and I went to the only website I knew of: ty.com.... That was during my beanie baby phase and I just remember the address on the tags.

I first started using it when Gopher was alive and well.
