When Did You Start Using the Internet

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.

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)

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.
