Had to choose 1985-1989, but you really should have gone back a bit further... The first time I used the internet was in 1984.

I started at the registration of the first URL in 85, but I guess I should have gone back a bit further. Did you work for the gov or a university at the time, Seuss?
When I was 7 my parents got prodigy on our brand new 286 (1991). Good times.

I guess I'm still considered a newbie to the net. I only started using a comp for the first time in January if THIS year. Internet came in Feb.

1995 was when my family first got the internet, but i had been using it at school for at least a year before.

Hacking the university dial up's when I was but a wee demon of destruction at the tender age of 12-13-14. I say hacking but at the time it was more like social engineering and manipulation of gopher gateways to reference material I wanted to access.... Real honest to goodness hacking didn't start until later.

OMG, now I feel old.

Spending days downloading the uuencoded messages from the Usenet group alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.xxxxx then finding you are short 1 part and can not decode the picture. lol

Cool poll. My family was pretty late getting into computers, let alone the internet. We used to have dial-up June e-mail service, but no internet.

I used it a few times back when I was a teen back in the late 80's but it was just a few times to usenet (Back then, it was sloooow and expensive, charging by the minute!), but I put down post 1994 as that was when I could afford it and started regularly using the internet.

My school was poor so we didn't get the internet or computers in every classroom until 99. When we did, it was "child blocked" to the point where you couldn't do anything but read news or look at reference sites. In 2000, I finally got the internet at home with an old dinosaur computer and dial up connection.
