I first used the internet in about 1990.
I was working at a laboratory and had access to a searchable database of biochemists research papers. Prior to that we struggled with outdated CD-Roms where you'd be given only a paper's title which you'd then have to hunt down in the book library. I quit science a few years later and had nothing more to do with computers until by 1998, I realised that if I didn't get a PC, I could end up being like my parents. I bought a job-lot of twenty used 66MHz machines and sold them all keeping one for myself. Wasn't dial-up crap?

I got online somewhere in the later 90's. The first new computer I bought was an IBM stealth model, all black. It had 2 whole gigs! Whoa! Dial up was so freakin slow that you had to really consider whether to open a site or not, because it took so long. And the pop-ups! Like multitudes of them, one after another. I guess this was before good antivirus programs.
Then, when I discovered all the porn, I was transformed into Jerkenstein. I blew buckets full of baby batter everywhere. |

The first time I used the internet was at college in about 1995. Didn't use it much, but I did have limited access. It was also dial-up, which when I think back was horrendously slow.
The year later I went to university and got to use the net there. No dial-up - it was bliss! Not to mention discovering on-line porn for the first time (which could have got me into trouble with the university if I'd been discovered, as they really did frown on that sort of stuff).

What was on-line in 1983? Did the computer need a garage to store it in

I was introduced to the internet during my time in the military. I remember that I didn't care much about it since it couldn't help me for my job there. Along with the fact that I didn't even know how to turn it on.
It wasn't until aroud 2001 when I first got the itch to have one of my own. My friends were all "on-line" and kept telling me how great it was. So, I gave in and had my friend make me one out of used parts. (You can imagine how that worked out.) I bought my first computer about 6 years ago........ ........and now I can't live without it.!!

I remember my Granda taking me to his workplace as a teenager. He worked for Shorts Aircraft Factory. But he worked in the "secret missile" unit. Exercets(sic) were made here and production increased during the Falklands war. They had computers that really blew me away, but they were MASSIVE! Like a whole room full of buzzing machines. For Jo Bloggs the ZX Spectrum was just around the corner.
