How long have you been on the internet? - Gigi - 06-17-2007 I started messing with it in 95/96. Had to go to a coffee shop and pay 2.50 to check my hotmail account. I have had the same email address there since then! Who knew it would take hold and increase to the addiction I have now! How long have you been on the internet? - berlinlife06 - 06-18-2007 I think I opened my first hotmail account back in 95 too... but I started using online services, basically America On Line, back in 93. I still have the same e-mail from then. But at that moment, those services were not connected to the "internet" as we know it now. And it was 3 dollars an hour to be there, with 10 hours free a month! Things have certainly changed since! How long have you been on the internet? - zach - 06-18-2007 I used to check my email back in 92-93 through a DOS program called PINE (if i remember correctly). Then we had windows 3.1 and everyone got all excited. + games would fit on a single floppy! ahhh... the good old days.

How long have you been on the internet? - Gigi - 06-19-2007 Ya know, my ex used to tell me he was on the internet since 1992. I thought he was full of it! I guess I owe him an apology! You guys win as far as longevity. I do remember the days before unlimted access, that was the days I went to the internet cafes! LOL I learned computers some in grade school...DOS systems, very Weird Science but less cool. Ah, the 80's! How long have you been on the internet? - ACCER - 06-19-2007 I also remember Prodigy and the Imagination Networks! Oh the phone bills I piled up! $1500 in one month! I became an addict fask...for me it was like crack: one shot and you're hooked.
