I don't remember when I started using a computer. I remember the first time I had internet in my own house though, I was using a 28kb/s dialup service.

I was playing floppy games back in what, '96 or something, always at a friends house.

First time on the internet was probably in the last class on primary school where we got internet in '98, '99 or so?

First pc at home was a pentium '1' in 2000 or 2001, then months later a pentium 2, got internet then too, a year after that a P3 and in 2005 or something I bought a customized pc that could play the 'latest games'.

My first "PC" ran on CP/M (before DOS) and didn't have a hard drive, it had two 5 1/4" floppy disk drives - one disk would be labeled "Program" and the other "Data". To load some programs (like the POWERFUL word processors) I had to swap out program disks too.

Prior to that were my Commodore and Atari boxes - but they weren't considered "personal computers" in any real sense.

idk how long i've been using the pc now. first game i remember i
ever played is kings quest (by sierra). plus pong and all kinds
of snake variations. i dont even know if our first pc had a HDD,
i think we started up everything through floppy. oh and good old
ms-dos. i even took a course in that <_<

and internet, well we started using it when the best we could get
was a dialup connection. we were using napster for downloads at
that time. i think every song we downloaded took at least 15 minuts.
and my parents always got pissed because the phone line was dead
at least 4 hours every day because we were downloading >_>

I remember having internet but I never used it because I had no real use for it. Had that Maybe 97? It was on windows 95 anyway. PROPERLY started using in in around '01.
As for PC I've been played DOS/Floppy games for as long as I can remember. And when my dad got his first computer with a cd tray I stuck a cookie in it. But probably around 94?

Using a PC on a very young age, and my uncle is to blame. He always got me videogames I could play on my parent's computer. Maybe since 5? I was completely hooked to this game called Fattybear. Oh I loved that game so much even though I had no clue what the characters said as it was English.

I got internet on my own computer since 2003/2004? Not really sure. First game I played online was James Bond 007: Nightfire and it was all so new to me lol. I had been using internet on my parent's computer before, though. I remember my parents peeking over my shoulder when I went to the chatbox for the first time haha, my mother was so scared.

Two parts.

1. PC - 1980 or 1981
2. Internet - since before it was called "The Internet" and was Darpanet.

And Gramps - Kaypro II for the win! Remember that "luggable"? CP/M on that one too.

Love the specs on that 6809, eh? .9 mhz. Yes, that's MEGAhertz, not ghz. 1/3000th as fast as today's PC's.
