Re: Do you remember the first time you used the internet?
I remember using it at my best friends house..she had Prodigy. I "met" a guy from Brooklyn on one of their bulletin boards, and we remained friends for years!

Re: Do you remember the first time you used the internet?
I don't remember exactly what year it was - I want to say '93 or '94. My exes father worked for IBM and got a couple of computers for something like $4K and that was a deal . We used Prodigy and I always remember you had to turn on the computer and use the c.prompt on DOS.

Re: Do you remember the first time you used the internet?
When I went for my master's degree in 1994. It was sooo rudimentary back then. I remember Yahoo was one of the first websites I used. It was so simplistic looking, grey background, just links no graphics, really.
Actually I remember in 1990 or 1991 we used to have this computer at college and a friend of mine used to 'chat' with his friend at another college. I dind't even really grasp the concept back then. But I didn't use it then. I used to chat alot while getting my master's degree on the IRC (internet relay chat) when I had time between classes. My friends thought I was nuts. LOL.
Boy thank God Al Gore invented the internet

Re: Do you remember the first time you used the internet?
It was 1994 or 95. I remember sitting at my boyfriend's computer typing in the word "alt.rec.----" trying to find messageboards. The internet was there , but not built yet. I also remember emailing American Express that it was ridiculous to have a website but not offer the ability to look up statements.

yes...way back in 1995!!
Me too. Thats when I got my first AOL account (long gone now!). That's how I made up my screen name (chmlengr) because it had to be less than 10 characters back then, so I couldn't use chemicalengineer.
In college and grad (1990-1995) I remember emailing on the Vax machines!
