When Did You Start Using the Internet

[tr1ck5h07]

I started going "online" back in 1996 and going through all the BBSes. The only way you could download stuff back then was by accruing download points through uploaded files like mp3s.

Popular BBSes back then were NEDA and Nightstalkers hahaha

Had fun playing BBS games like Legend of the Red Dragon (LORD).

Chrome mostly. FF for development, and downloading online videos (from youtube, pr0n sites). safari din dito sa office where i keep my personal mail open.


i remember using netscape navigator dati and being so frustrated with it, mas prefer ko ang IE. my, how the tables have turned. IE is now shunned and Mozilla, which is derived from Netscape, is preferred.

ICQ unang ginamit bago sumikat yahoo messenger dahil sa mga shows.

i do remember geocities.

[Phoenix67]

Eudora for emails and Netscape for surfing...around late 1994 when I was in SG. IBM thinkpad na issued sa akin ng boss ko gamit ko nuon.

Dial-up pa modem nuon.

Sa office namin, ako na pinaka techie...walang singaporean ang may alam ng diskarte ko sa internet (configuration etc)

speaking of geocities, did you guys know that angelfire.com is still up today?

yeah, i'm not on windows eh, and i use plugins/extensions like lastpass, evernote, firebug, etc

looks interesting. pero whenever a new browser comes out they are touted as the fastest which indeed they are since they have less crap but also less features than the others.

I got my internet connection around 1996 and it costs P1 per minute! Unlimited was more or less P2000 per month and the ISPs that I remember were Infocom and Skyinet.

The first time I ever experienced getting connected was through BBS around 1995 but I found it too complicated

When was your first online experience?

I started using it in 1994 using Netscape, I understand our company (Intel) was among the first few companies to have internet connection. No Internet Explorer yet at that time if I remember correctly.
