How long have you been connected?

I first went online in 1997 but it was short lived, I reconnected back in 2004 and it just seems to get bigger and bigger.

what about you?

When people ask what 'American Pie' is about, they're missing the point. The song isn't about the lines themselves - it's about what is between the lines. The song is about what isn't there.

I first used it in around 1996 when I was doing some voluntary work. Notts County was one of the first things I searched for!


 


My parents went online (dial-up at first) in around 2001. I've been on t'internet in one form or another ever since.

Early 00's, I hated dial-up with a passion.

When broadband came along, I was delighted. The internet being slower than teletext and equally frustrating meant improvements had to be met. Thank god they did because dial-up was a con, how they tended to overcharge when said to be all in at x price.

Can't remember the exact year we got it at home, but I assume it was early 2000's. 

When we did have it at home, we also had to replace our computer, as with Windows 95, it just couldn't quite manage to load an internet page using IE within 20 minutes.

Very early on. At school (would put it at mid 80s) my best mates dad was a big computer user. He actually up and left the country to live with a women he met online from the USA. Problem back then was it was nothing but bboards so words only. 


He got me 'addicted' to gaming early on. I remember when SimCity originally came out. That really got me into god type games. 


As my mates dad got me into computers I have been an early adopter of most things technical so whenever it was available I would get it!


 


and btw the idiot came back a few years later begging forgiveness, but by that time he divorce had gone through so tough!

i was not really into it back then, i hated html webpages with a passion. in fact i hate them more so now that people cannot modernize themselves.
