As for me, I've been using the internet for about 10 years now. I used the internet at home on a IBM computer, later I had a compaq. I had AOL at the time. >_> Dear lord it's terrible. I remember encountering Newgrounds and Maddox when I was about 12-13 years old. XD (I'll continue later.)

I've been using the world wide web for like two years.
I used it on three diefrent computers all AMD.
I visited the Nightwish site, some other forum, and some internet games like Ogame and stuff like that.
Hell I'm still using my first email adress.
I had a Dial-up first( God I hate dial-up) and now I have DLS.
I don't even know what a crappy geocites site is so I never created one.
Well my first PC was....hmmm...a very old laptop my father bought. Very very old. I know it was Toshiba....and that's all I remember about it.

So how long have you been using the lovely world wide web for?
- I've been using it since 2003.

When did you first encounter the internet?
- 6th grade, I think? Computer subjects.

What websites do you remember visiting?
- Haha, the very first one is Friendster.

Do you remember your first email address and screen name?
- Just the first email address. I remembered, it was my cousin who made it for us. My sisters and I share the same e-add at first.

Remember what internet service provider you had?
- The first one was dial-up.. god, I'm so happy that we're now using DSL.

[Sephirothalpha]

I would say about 10 years.

 

[Warbsywoo]

I've been surfing the web for 7 years, but only sporadically. Actually, I only got full time (well, sort of full time but much much more than I did long ago) this April or something. First action? Join this forum.

I'm pretty well versed on how it works, but there's still so much to learn at the same time. :S

 

[Erythritol]

Ah, the internets. Really just a series of tubes. Heh heh.

Anyway, I've been using it since 5th or 6th grade (I'm a junior in college now). I can't really recall what websites I went to....I remember the first time I used AIM. My mother introduced me to it, and I thought it was the coolest thing EVAR. I also remember how effing slow dial-up was. Thank god for technological advances! And yes...I remember creating shitty geocities websites!

I've had a computer in my home since I was, like....3? 4? My parents worked for IBM, so we've always had a computer in the house. Omg, the computer we had was SO old school. It could only run one program at a time. I remember playing this really pixelated game of slots on it all the time. As a kid, I thought it was the most entertaining thing in the world. Ahhh, computers. You were always my friend.

I think I discovered the internet when I was only 11 or 12 years old. Then when I was 14, that's when I discovered chatting and was really into it. We had AOL then, with parental controls. Heh, it sucked. My AIM screename's still the same, as well as the yahoo one. So yep, I've had them for years now.

Don't really remember what kind of computer we had, or what websites I visted. All I know is that I was chatting nonstop. xD

-So how long have you been using the lovely world wide web for?

-When did you first encounter the internet?

Wanadoo. It fucking sucked.

I was never n00bish enough. Fortunately.
​

-What was your first computer?

Some Compaq thing. My mother bought it without consultation from someone with a brain, so it was wank... until I forced her to get a new one about a year and a half ago.

I prefer AMD as well for gaming. Bah, my new computer is built for gaming but I had choice in CPUs so I had to get intel.

Anyway, I've been using it since 5th or 6th grade (I'm a junior in college now). I can't really recall what websites I went to....I remember the first time I used AIM. My mother introduced me to it, and I thought it was the coolest thing EVAR.

Hahha XD I remember your old screen. You were the first person to be on my buddy list. I remember the AIM trend. You still talk to your friends on AIM even though they're walking distance from you.

And yes...I remember creating shitty geocities websites!

I remember trying to make a shitty Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Gundam wing and Final Fantasy fan site. That failed so badily.
