Your first time on the internet

[wooootles]

First time I saw the internets? I typed in "Gundam" on Lycos

[DeltrusDisc]

I was born in the Internet.

lol! And ROCK ON DUDE DREAM THEATER IS AMAZING!!!

On topic: I remember my family used an old Mindspring or w.e email account. Yeaaaah. Thooossse were the days. XD

[Sephiracle]

Yep, remember old aol, remember downloading the new version of aol's over 33.6k(oh man) and it taking days to download what will now take a few minutes.

I remember paying for my own dedicated phone line to have 56k on the home computer since I was the only one that really used it all that much

[Cilraaz]

My first networking experience (not actual internet) were the local BBSs (Bulletin Board Systems, for the young 'uns). Oh, how I miss L.O.R.D. (Legend of the Red Dragon) and BRE (Barren Realms Elite). So much fun!

After that was a series of hopping between CompuServe and AOL, milking them for free months. I really have no idea how AOL ever made money. Every time I tried to cancel, I got 2 free months, even when I was canceling after the 2 free months.

Internet Explorer!
on my dad's pc in the living room, playing runescape on 56k dial up before he got home from work(even though I was told not to use it until after tea time )

rofl this so much
they were a terrible service though, I remember uninstalling it to use dialup instead and my parents getting mad ^^

[Emaluri]

I remember being incredibly impressed with my internet connection when it reached the point where I could listen to a song as it was downloading and by the time the song was finished, the download would be done.

I remember playing WoW on dial-up. It took us awhile to switch to broadband.

I remember being told that Ultima Online was AMAZING. I almost got into it, but my install was broken.

I remember using Telnet to connect to MUDs, and being excited when I found the local blink option.

My first encounter with the internet was in elementary school, when I found a picture of an AT-ST and thought it was the COOLEST, I wrote down the address to the picture so I could find it again.

^dial-up sound!

was probably googling cheat codes for video games lol

[autopsy]

First thing I did when I got my 56k was play Delta Force 2 online. And thats all i did on the internet for at least 2 years (maybe some AoE online too). Would play it for hours every night (could only go online after 6pm when it was free to use) until someone picked up the phone.
Win95 with Netscape Navigator browser. Back in the days of when you had a homework assignment you would ask your dad, or look on Encarta encyclopedia. Now its straight to google/wikipedia/answers.com.

[Taliwhacker]

Yes, since I use to watch my brother play an old MMO called 'Asheron's Call' I started to play too.

[Scottishpaladin]

I remember running up a £300 phone bill cause I Was on a pay per min porn site rofl. My mum WAS NOT happy LOL.

[nevermore]

I was almost 14 when I got my own connection. 256kbps, dial up
Logged on, created an email address because, well, who doesn't have one?

... and then I went wild on porn. I barely left my room for the next week. God it was sticky.

[naadra]

Oh the good old BBS days and modems that had the word baud associated with them lol, I think it was a program called Cricket that I used to connect kinda fuzzy on it all though really. Sigh suddenly I feel real old....the first computer my family had cost like ten grand. If I remember correctly it was before the intelivision console came out. The one with a phone pad and a disc for a controller GO GO UTOPIA!!!!
