    10 years ago was nothing. You should've seen the intertubes 14 years ago.
    Heh, 14 years ago I sporadically had internet service. Anytime the AOL free trials would come in the mail, my dad would let us take advantage of it. I think it was only like 20 free hours or something like that. Either way, it was a painfully slow experience on our old 14400 modem. :P Of course, back then I was used to waiting for my computer to do anything.

    I've been using the internet, albeit inconsistently and not completely, for about 13 years now. EoFF for over 8.

    Holy cow. I hadn't thought about this in a long time.

    I'm not sure how long I have had a computer and internets, but I know I didn't start really getting into it until about 9 years ago when I saw an add for Zeeks.com in my local newspaper. It was cool back then.
    But I moved on to better things. Neopets. Hellz yes.

    Then I came here...

    Oh wow, ten years ago I didn't know what the internet was. I got my first computer from my neighbor in 2000-2001 (Y2K Resistant ;D) and then got the internet a bit later. I remember thinking I won a free trip to Hawaii because of the pop ups.

    I've had my Yahoo! account for about 12 years, I believe. Other than that, I turn 9 years old in EoFF terms this August, and DanieLoony (AIM account) is probably about eight years old.

    10 years ago your wonderous flirtacious man here Iceglow was just 13 years old, apart from the age not much has changed! I was still a flirt back then, on the old Megatokyo forums and Bolt.com my networking sites of choice I remember chatting (and by chatting I mean chatting up) to some girl from NY on Bolt, no Rye don't get excited I know I'm a catch but hey I know it wasn't you lol. :P

    A lots changed browser wise, no more netscape (does that even exist still?) instead it's firefox for me and it's no longer napster it's u-torrent or limewire for my music fixes depending on what I'm after it's facebook and myspace over bolt and EoFF over the imbeciles populating the MT forums (aren't you guys just so lucky to have me?). No longer do I complain about the cheese dicks in school, it's the cheese dicks at work who get on my case! God damn, this is making me feel old! I'ma stop here and now before I drag up all the many memories of my internet existence!

    Wow, I didn't realize we signed up at EoFF the same month. I thought you were here earlier than that.
