How long have you been using the internet for?

[Unknown Poster]

Remember the first dot com boom? Remember when people were just throwing assloads of money at anybody who had somewhat of a decent idea for a website? Remember how that all imploded on itself?

This is probably the only example of that era still left online

And ofcourse the scandal that came from it with Marc Collins Rector...
Found: The Elusive Man At The Heart Of The Hollywood Sex Abuse Scandal
Basically using millions in investor money to fund decadent sex parties.

My first computer was a Tandy. It was in color. I played the Oregon Trail on it. It didn't have a mouse or a modem.
Early 90s. I've always had computers in my life.

We had a Tandy too back in the 80's. Used to play Clowns and Balloons, and Megabug

2000, The days of printing DBZ pictures and busting to Trish Stratus pics

Talk about a small world. I remember it like yesterday, 1998 going to the library to print out dbz pictures so i could trace them back at home and getting stopped by a librarian because I looked like another black kid that was using the library computers for porn cuz everybody black person has to resemble each other. I would give my left nut to go back to those days and see people I haven't seen in over a decade.

I did have an OLLLLLLLLD Macintosh. The big boxy ones that came with the BIG floppy disc (the really flexible ones) My mom bought it from one of co-workers when I was around 11 or 12 fro me to play around on. It was kinda old then, now that I think about it. I just mainly used it to type out stories bc I didn't really know how to navigate the thing. Plus half of the floppy disc the man gave me didn't work. I'm gonna ask her what happened to that pc.

The very first time I ever used it was in high school in 1996. They had two computers with it...I think my first search was for marvel.com

My parents got a Hewlett Packard with Windows 95 in 1997

About the same length of time. I can recall using it the 1st couple times and didn't know what the hell I was doing

Alot of us had to learn the ropes by ourselves. Even though at that time I could work my way around Dos since I was fukking with Doom and Leisure Suit Larry games back then, me and my brehs didn't know shyt about the Internet or how it worked. I remember we went over to this one dude's house who had it, copied Internet Explorer on Floppy disks and expected that shyt to work once we dragged it on to the desktop......
