re: When did you first use the internet?

It was around 1993 or so but I don't remember a lot about it (LSU days) I remember a DOS screen and us downloading pics that took forever and a few BBS's then about a year later we got AOL and that was like a brave new world.

Question for people that used Internet in the early 90s - what search engine did you use to search for nudes and what not? Was there even a concept of search engines or did you have to pretty much know the URLs you wanted by heart?

1996/early 97

I think the first thing I searched was news about SW re-release in theaters.

asl?

Had to of been around mid 90s. I'll never forget that damn instant message sound. We trolled chatrooms and searched for nudes of Sandra Bullock.

I'll never forget when we first got cable internet. I asked the install guy "so where do I go to log on" and he said "you don't need to anymore" it was a WTF moment. It was so fast.

95, got first computer in 1996. I think it cost 2-4 grand. The back of the monitor , hated it so much, barely fit on our desk

we got a Packard Bell in 1991 from Best Buy in Kansas and it was about $3,000. It had a 300 MB hard drive and Windows 3.0

MS Paint and Wolfenstein 3D were the only programs I used

the first computer I got that was "mine" was in 1998. It was a Dell, $2,400. 300 Mhz Pentium II, 6.4GB HD, 64 MB of RAM, 56k modem. CD/DVD. Bought my first DVD, Dumb and Dumber, a week later, cost 25 bucks

Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior were played often

compuserve in the early 90s was the first ISP I had, but I had been playing on various dial in BBS for years prior.
