i was a newbie at the internet back in 1999. i signed up with a yahoo account and the same email address is still in use until now. internet is very convenient coz it saves the trouble of waiting a long time for the mail to arrive. :)

first time I actually got online and sent an email was really late 80's to early 90's. I used juno on one persons pc in late 80's, and prodigy on anothers later on.
Then I hooked up to a local company that was actually called a bbc, it was a server run out of a friends home, and her and her husband started out giving friends a service that included email, and a game and chat site.
Shortly after I hooked myself up to Mindspring which was then transfered to Earthlink, and built my very first site on the free server tripod in 1995. Altho the site has been redone many times, and is once again in the redoing stage, that original site still sits there today, cruisin in cruise control LOL.

I was at my friends house. She showed me this cool world that I could go into. It was like 1998...and I was so jealous. All we did was go into chat rooms and things like that. But really I didn't really find out until I went to college in 1999 when I took a course on the internet.
