those bastards were still charging me after I canceled.

I think I'm the only one who has never had problems with them. Perhaps cause when I stopped using their service over a year ago I continued using AIM.

I have an e-mail from iTunes dated July 14th 1970.
I'm never deleting it.

LOL WTF? t:

I'm still haunted by the sounds of buzzing, whirring, and swooshing.

LOL

It was all about the AOL chatrooms back then. Oooohhh yeeaaahhh.

The lesbian chat rooms

Yes...you ARE old. The first time I heard of the Internet was in `95 while watching Freakazoid.

St Patrick's Day 1997. Ahh memories, don't miss the slow loading of pages and using Napster to download music that took like 2 days.

And the good old connecting music ahhh, memories.

In college in 1989 using the university's VAX/VMS systems. Prior to that I'd been using local BBS systems. In 1990 the school set up a modem bank for students to dial into and get actual internet access. Everything back then was on Usenet and the web was text only, which we used a browser called Lynx to browse.

I first got AOL on a ****ty Packard Bell from 1993 and I first got dial up in 1998.

Fall '97. I was a senior in High School, & the world was my oyster. Had my first Online Sex that fall. It has never been that passionate on the internet since. She/he...it was a god/ess..thing.

i remember i was miles away from home and couldnt get in touch with anybody for a ride because low and behold a certain sibling was on the internet , this is before my family had cellphones . so i walked and walked until i sprained my ankle jumping over a fence trying to take a shortcut. then i continued to walk and walk (just barely, with frequent breaks). no money , no cab . just pain and misery .

I was about 10 and I used to go to the Goodwill and buy computers for like 5 bucks, I had like 6 one time, my favorite was something called a "Compaq Portable" it was so ****ing and bulky but had a built in Keyboard and a scroll-ball, rockin' MS DOS 4.5 and Windows 3.11 for Workgroups. I miss that damn thing

As Spock would say, "fascinating".

 

[Addendum]

I didn't use the internet until 96. My college got internet access for the dorm rooms.

But my dad had access to the net before that.
