Started just before 1995, when almost all internet pages were grey with black text (Times New Roman) and all links were blue. No frames or cool layouts...

takes a break from deep cleaning to chatter with you all...
1999 - when my friend hooked up my computer with a free ISP...which of course worked horribly and I got kicked out all the time. All I ever used was yahoochat, pretty much. It was 2001 before I was online all the time with a reliable ISP...I wish I had known a few years earlier about the wonderful Alphaville community online, I felt like the only person in the world who had even heard of Alphaville, let alone adored them...it wasn't until 2001, when I met some fans in real life, that I found out about the mailing list and joined to keep the magic alive. I'm sorry I didn't join the forum earlier than this year! School, work, you know...but it's the best, Willy. Thanks... |

In the first days I was online I used pigeons as internet was not there, this gave lots of errors as those damn pigeons get shot every 5 minutes and ended on a plate...[smile2]

I voted 2003
I got internet connection at home around 2004-2005, but first internet was only source of the information which I used very seldom. And I began to use internet more often in start 2007 and firstly I learn more new information about band which was my favourite several years ago... about Alphaville. And I have found more interesting things for myself. Before it I din't know even a name of the vocalist of band. Earlier I knew that name of band is Alphaville and I had "First Harvest" and some times I watched them clips DWM and FY on TV. Since then I have heard all albums of AV [smile2]

My love-hate story with my internet provider goes back to 1999. After a while with the old dial-up connection my services got upgraded little by little. Although I couldn't see a great difference when they installed optical fiber, now I went back to a 3Mbps connection, but I might upgrade for 5Mbps. I just hope the monthly bill won't compete with Paris. [watchb]

I voted '99. I remember being real little on the computer, playing around on it, with my parents supervision of course. I loved computers back then as I still do now.
