I first started the Internet in late 1999 when I bought my computer. I quess you can say I got a very late start. I was just wondering when you guys started using the Internet.

Probably about '90 - '92 but I was just clicking around a old dos system with prodigy... Started really using it about '94-'95...

[b:1f4d95fb9c][color=green:1f4d95fb9c]Well, we just got our computer last christmas, so about 9 months. I played around with the internet at the library, but it's not the same as having it at home! :D [/color:1f4d95fb9c][/b:1f4d95fb9c]

A lot of new users like to explore with colours on posts. Please try to use black, default.

mamalu, your post text colour is blinding pink. :shock:

[b:98ae3ee758][color=red:98ae3ee758]I don't think it's up to you to try to dictate what color someone uses to post with. Her post looks fine. That's what different color choices are there for--if we want to use them, it should be up to us, not you![/color:98ae3ee758][/b:98ae3ee758]

I'm still blinded by the American flag so we should burn it and then my sight will come back.

Wow, I actually lost track of when I originally got on the net! I'm thinking 94' or 95'.. That was way back when the net was just starting to really become known. Webpages were stale with no moving pictures. Frames stuck out like a sore thumb too. Internet radio was crummy as the majority of people had 14.4k modems so music wasn't practical. IRC was the only real chat system out there too and of course the most popular. Buddy lists weren't even heard of. The best thing about way back then.. No pop ups!

[color=#f50000:f4e0e905d6]Yes Greg, I realize that shade of pink looks a little bright. Didn't know if I could change it or not and didn't think it was that serious. As long as different colors are an option, I will continue to experiment with them.[/color:f4e0e905d6]
