KNOXVILLE, TN—Archaeologists say the ancient Internet users must have struggled to understand the frightening new technology.

I vaguely remember using CompuServe, perhaps that's not something I should admit to.

i remember first surfing the net, it was so slow...i didn't really do it til 1997 i don't think though.

I found the first version of AOHELL on an old computer from way back when.

1992 ASCII drawing of Star Trek's Mr. Spock

Yes! I'll have to dig out some old proggs I have for making ascii stuff. Ooo, this is going to be fun!

I think it was about 1993 that i started using the internet with aol.. i was a whole 10 years old and boy the things i learned about porn at a young age lol

I started using the net in '95 if you don't count online services like CompuServe (which in those days was more of a national service provider rather than an Internet provider).

a few months back while managing all of my data backups on my server i happened across an old file that contained all my e-mails between 1996ish to 1999ish (i used an imap emailing system back then).

reading through all the stuff that concerned me at that time in my life and revisiting websites that i used to hang out on before i had even heard of lmao/jub. it was an AWESOME trip down memory lane!

okay, i SO need to get a life.

god i feel old... i started using the net in 93, with you guessed it, compuserve. It was the shit then. but the internet as we know it today, that mostly came about, for me, i guess around 95ish? Certainly by 97 i had good ole AOL on my computer... heh heh.

 

[provenlogic]

I didnt know the internet was around in the 90s. Well I mean, I thought computer nerds in nasa might have had it but not like we have it now.

aww come on! you don't think the internet popped into existance after Y2K do you??? AOL has been around since at least 95. I first got it in 97.
