fightorace :  I remember Yahoo.com as the very first search engine I used.  Downloading a bunch of ice hockey (Ducks) pics and IRC-ing.

My first memories of the internet where about exploring the awesome site of Kidcity.be ... and now I am talking about 12 years ago! The site has vanished from the internet, but the memories still linger. But it was a safe environment for children to talk to each other and learn all about the world wide web!

I recall the agony of waiting an entire day to download a 50mb trial version of Age of Empires II... and then at around 90% the Internet poops out and you had to start from the beginning!

I remember some of the old OS's looked really really bad. Their function was okay for their time but the looks were horrible. 


ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI....

Some friend of mine in 1994 or 1993 talked about how awesome it is but also how expensive it was to be connected. I think I tried it for the first time in 1995 or 1996 when our local library got connected. I went straight for the gaming tips.

Brigand :  Those gaming tips were the shiz. Finally doing a friendship or babality in MKII! It seems like gaming took over the internet rather quickly, it did not take long before every code, tip, trick, and walkthrough was available.

Also anybody remember trying to log into AOL but it would take a half hour cuz you would always get a busy signal?

For sure. How the local gaming magazines are still alive and well is beyond me. That was the only reason I bought those things.

I remember in the year 2000 there were a bunch of free internet companies that came out like NetZero and Netscape.  You're right AOL was so expensive, so I was so thrilled to hook up to the internet for free, then realized you had to wait about 15 minutes while the dial-up did its thing and all the ads loaded since they were "free" internet browsers LOL!
