I was 14; we had dial-up service. We also had a fax machine on the same phone line......yeah.

So what about all of you?

Probably 10 or 11. I never actually played on the internet then though. Then I relized how addicting it can be.

I don't know when I first got it, but I started using it a lot when I was 12. I used to use AOL 3.0 and chat with my friends on dial up while sending each other pics.

I was 7, and the computer was put in my room. I was like raised by the internet. It's pretty sad. But I've learned a whole lot just because of the internet.

I really don't remember but it was back when dial-up was really the only household form of internet. I think it was when I was like 12.

The only online games I played back then were Diablo/EverQuest, so based on that I'd say when I was around 8 years old.
