That just made me realise I've had an email account for 20 years.
Also, I still use variations of the same password combination since then.

I like to feel rooted.

I got my first one in 1998 but it was a while before I knew anyone else with an email address to send emails to. I still use it a bit

i got mine in 1995 i think. still use it.

Well, the first was a college one so I no longer have it but the password combo still going strong.

I remember having hotmail accounts but they'd shitcan them if you didn't log on after a month. Assholes.

My password is a made up word my Dad said to me once as an insult.

That's pretty Irish I think.

My hotmail account is so old the password only has 4 letters. For some reason people are never as impressed as I'd imagined they would be when I tell them this.

you had an account on the original harvard (the)facebook didn't you? That makes you an innernet pioneer I reckon.

I got my first e-mail address in 1993 in college. I knew one guy in trinity with e-mail and basically just mailed him and people in my class.

In 1994 we got Mosaic (prehistoric web browser) and I remember seeing the first ever picture I saw on the internet (it was of Ryan Giggs and loaded in a separate window).

My how things/times have changed. I was listening to the radio last night and yer man Cormac Battle was telling people to contact him either via twitter, or the "traditional" method, e-mail. When did e-mail replace letter-writing as the traditional method of contacting people?

I think the first website I ever visited was the blur website. The url was on the artwork in The Great Escape jewel-case.

There's every chance this was as late as 1999 though.

Used to connect to a BBS, Electronic Media Network, and swap midi files from my smokingly quick 50MHz Dell. That was in '92 I think.

Yea, but you came from the future.

I first used the internet in 2000, then it was crappy dial up, no youtube, no videos, just website pages. It was addictive then but now its on a whole new level. Its become almost impossible to do without. Is that a good thing?..I'm not so sure. Seriously thinking of cancelling my UPC subscription and going without it for a year.

I remember using the internet in 2000 and Metacrawler was my search engine. The IT guy (a really nice Asian chap who never ratted me out for looking at nude photos) said I should try this new one called Google.
It made the internet seem different. I don't know why, but it did.

In/post college (mid/late 90s) I lived with about 7 guys in a big old house. We registered the domain name ChicksDontDigMe and were planning to make a site where we all wrote articles about trying to get women. Helpful and funny pieces of journalism with artwork. Just the smallest bit of space cost so much money back then. We had t-shirts planned too but it all just fizzled out. It would have been funny. Oh well.
