1998 when I got my first computer. I knew I was going to be off work recovering from an operation and I had to stay indoors all day. I didn't want to be stuck watching daytime TV so I decided to egt a computer. Once I had set it up, it took me no time at all to log on to the web!

1993. At Uni (mature student). Wrote my first website that summer as a summer job for the department so I could afford to finish my degree. Thanks Prof Sommerville. I put the Lancaster University Computing Department on the web and wrote pages to allow the lecturers to distribute notes and assignments. Some of my original pages are still there as is most of my original design though it has been kept well up to date.
In 1994 I wrote a distributed requirements gathering tool using it.
I also wrote a wysiwyg html editor to facilitate non techies adding pages.
[edit] It was the delft uni picture archive that got me hooked. A student had writen a prog to collect from various media and store piccies in an archive. Most of it was porn.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

1994 using a browser called Mosaic (I think). First time at work 1996, back in the days when ALL searches did find porn linksThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

On IRC (EFNET) from around 1993, wrote first web page in 1995 on my university account. Experimented with gif transparency and animation (the hard way - no Imageready then) and searches were on academic engines that actually found relevant results.Comment

1992, when developing a piece of software for a university research institute. I mainly used email, FTP and Usenet - had a look at this new-fangled web thing, but it seemed to be full of stuff about particle physics, which wasn't that relevant to my needs

Some of you are talking about The Internet and some about the World Wide Web. Which is it?
