I have been using the Internet for the past 7 yrs. I use almost 4 hrs a day. Pop-up Blockers are really a boon to internet users.

I've been using the Internet for over 5 years now. Pop-ups definitely seem to be a thing of the past. Good thing too, because they drove me nuts! LOL I remember closing one pop-up window only to get another! Grr!

Same with me. I started with a dial up account. At that time broadband was never heard of by common people. It was only used by huge corporation and even that was not as fast as it is now. You are right. Many things have changed especially the level of interaction between people and the internet.

I only taught myself the computer about four years ago, and up until a few months ago I was relying on the freebie use of computers at the Library or go to an internet place---for me it was love at first sight with computers, and I now consider myself a computer geek...since I invested in a Mac computer, I don't really need to worry about viruses as Macs are at least supposed to be virus free....and even though I do have a processor that will allow me to use Windows applications...I don't...that's like opening up one's arms and say..Hey viruses come to me...LOL--

It is about 10 years for me. I once spent around $4 just for 1 hour on internet several years ago, when there are only modem link aviable for individuals. I still remember the time when I was waiting in front of my computer with a 64K modem.
