The first time I used it was Primary School too, I think I was about 10, I remember my teacher explaining what a memory stick was and that he got his biggest so far, which was 1GB.

I don't think I used the internet until I started working so probably something like Yell.com or similar. When I was at primary school they had one BBC computer that had to be wheeled between classrooms and it wasn't a big thing at high school either so I didn't have much contact with computers or the internet till I started working...This forum makes me feel so old sometimes

There were no dot coms, only BBS's. You dial in to the server at an incredibly awful rate(very good for the time) and do the back-n-forth chatting/downloading. It's been prettified by about 1000x since then with visual interface. Text was all we had. Yay.

Can't remember, but the first thing I signed up to was MSN, which about 6-7 years ago.

I dont remember. When I first started using the net though I used teenchat a lot, because I found a way to boot people off it and onto different sites. My site of choice was somewhere called rotten.com (dunno if its still up or not)

I used to find the idea of someone one minute sitting chatting and the next minute having pics of dead bodies popping up on their screen hilarious. I realise now it was very wrong and might have actually scared a lot of people and could possibly have got me into a lot of trouble if caught too

Ditto with all those don't remember. All I know is for a long period of time I was obsessed with play.com and all other random sites where I could buy dvds and games. All I di was buy, wait then watch on my mini dvd player.
