You elders are just too much. I'm still trying to get a handle on this.

I remember having internet before people knew what internet was. I just can't remember how far back. I know we had it a few years before we ever saw AOL disk.

My mother was big time involved in the computer industry when the Net started popping up.

we had a total of 5 phone lines at the house, and 4 of them where to combine the modems for one machine.

Yes been doing it over 20+ yrs as well the days of dail up and everyone was on AOL.
Shoot I still remember AOL had to keep adding dial up lines, kept getting busy signals. And after a while chatting in chat rooms, you get kicked off, then get pissed because you were talking to a chick, and to go find her again.

Heck, chat rooms norm was to A/S/L


Remember these I do

Summer between 6th and 7th grade (24 years ago), a friend of mine had a Yak setup. It was basically chat rooms for others who had Yak. I don't think it was actually the Internet, though. It happened on a regular computer, and there was a service fee. I only used it a couple of times. After that, I didn't touch computers or have any kind of exposure to the internet until about 1999 when a roommate had a computer and AOL. I remember chat rooms, even meeting a few whales who drove from BFE to meet me after talking online. I have some funny stories about that. Anyway, in 2001, I had internet access at work. I didn't have my own computer at home until 2002.

Easily 20 years here. Hell, I was a master at thirteen, when I took the modem apart and clipped out the little speaker, so my mom so wouldn't hear me getting online in the middle of the night to fail at looking at porn.

[livinglegend_86]

I'm gonna go with ~16 years. We had AOL and later on, Earthlink. I still remember all of the 56K warnings in titles on message boards if someone was posting pics... usually something to the tune of "56K = DEATH!"
