Unreal Tournament fueled my present internet addiction 9 years ago.

Been playing PC games since way back in the day, with Wolf3d and Doom and shit in like 95.

I first started using computers when I was two years old. My father taught me to spell my name by using a computer.

I started programming in BASIC in 4th grade. Did some programming classes in high school, and did my compsci degree at college with a lot of software developing, and now I do software development as a career.

I started using BBS systems (not really Internet, but online) around when they had 300 (or maybe 600?) baud modems. They were slow enough where you could actually watch the text scroll across the screen as the system was displaying something to you. I could actually read faster than the text displayed.

Actual Internet? I think that was sometime around 7th grade on the Macintosh II systems the school had. They had dial-up service that was shared among several computers in the lab to do web searches on webcrawler.com.
