re: When did you first use the internet?

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.
