I started to use internet in 1995.

Its hard to say which site was the first I visited, but it must be the search engines WebCrawler or MetaCrawler. I was using both.

It could also be mIRC. I spent a lot of hours on that application. It was my preferred "social network" app. to meet people with ICQ.

I was on IBM.com in summer 1994 for my job. Before that it was CompuServe and had an email account in the mid 80's, chatting, forums, etc.. Still remember my old CompuServe ID too! 71251,3416 Got that account in 1981 or 82 I believe. 1200 bit per second modem that I had to plug my phone HANDSET into! Wow.. Thanks for the memories!!

I started using the internet in 2005, first website I visited was Google.
If I'd had been connected 3-4 years sooner, I'd probably be much richer now, as I knew from the beginning the potential of the internet and how rich you can become out of it, that was my first priority: to make money online.
Anyway, I cannot complain, life's great anyway.

DialUp UUCP service for email only, under DOS. Must have been in earlier 199x, no tcp/ip website access initially. X25 protocal. Gopher. Archie. IRC. IRC-chat channels with specific issues like bots, takeovers... even remeber how my channels ops/bots were ddosed at that time. (hand)Regged my first domain in country-code TLD of my country in 1998, it was for a company I worked for at that time, they are still using it as the main corporate domain even though might probably sell it now for some 6 figures (short and memorable).

Bought my first computer in the spring of 1993. Paid over $4,000 for it. Still have the invoice. All my neighbors came over to stare in wonder at the "fish-eye" color monitor.

Everyone waited in anticipation as the dial-up tone played over and over till finally it connected to the Internet. I think at the time there was only like 600 websites in existence!

It may have been Aliweb or Netscape we were trying to search. You had to keep clicking or the connection left idle would drop.

Back then you could host an internet party ;>)

Those were the days!
