Remember way back when the internet FIRST got here?

[Squeaker101]

I didn't have a computer back then, with internet at least. I do remember playing some game called "Keen" though, I always wanted to play that haha.

When I was first introduced to the internet, there was MSN, Youtube, and Bebo. My life was based those things after that.

lol, My two biggest things on discovering the internet in the days of yore were going into chat rooms and seeing that there were people who would embrace the whole "cybering" thing, and figuring out how to clear the damn history after looking up naked women. Videos didn't really work....

Are you kidding me? I remember when we had to telnet to "sites"... they weren't even sites.

My first memory of the internet was around 2000/2001.

My first online game experience was Quake 3 on the dreamcast. Blown away, as was the phone bills each month...

I had a 14.4 modem. I UPGRADED to 56k. You bought netscape from stores.

Those AOL discs were made to last, A friend and I put it the test, gouging it with a screwdriver, hitting it with a hammer, burning it, running over it with a car, they just seemed like superhuman cd's, maybe they expected many people wanted to break them.

Getting signed out of Runescape 1 because mum needed to use the phone.

Dat feel.

 

[BenGmanUk]

I downloaded the Killer Instinct roms on 56k. It look about 3 days and cost my parents about £90 which they made me pay back. Money well spent tbh...

 

[TakeAChance]

lol we had a 8 hours a month plan. I went over it by 17 hours when i was a kid. Cost a small fortune.

One of the first computer games I remember playing was on one of the big Floppy discs, it was Winnie the Pooh, and I thought it was the best thing in the world,

we would get AOL 3.5 discs in the mail (the small one) and just erase them and use them for our own use at school.

Im talking back around the time the internet started reaching every home in America. Back when everybody was on AOL and had to listen to those weird dial tone sounds when signing on. Remember when you couldnt use the phone if you were online lol? I remember the very first website I went to was Rotten.com because it was so popular for showing 2pacs autopsy photo. anyway, the thought just popped in my head and i was just wondering what everyone elses memories are of the early days of the NET.

Aw man i remember rotten.com, JFK's autopsy was too boss, i know its fked up but its amazing the damage that sniper rifle did to his skull.

Ok I share a quicky back in the day summoning was one if the only cats with a Internet access it was NETCOM. We would all leach off him and a group of about 10 off would use his account. That went on for years until netcom put a stop to it and summoning made the jump to the incredible scam of intergraded service digital subscriber world of (ISDN) woah to imagine a 128k connection, the power and glory, yet we continued to use NETCOM until I was employed to dismantle their over 100,00" modem banks nation wide
