    I first used it when i was around 13 so around 1995.. I remember the most fun i had was playing Doom multiplayer by calling my friends phone line. I mostly used mIRC, i think i pretty much lived in chat rooms on efnet. I forgot which ISP i first used but awhile after i used mindspring(maybe pipeline before that). Believe it or not ive always been more of a yahoo user over google until last year.

    Well, I send my first email in the year 1998. I was very excited when I received a reply from my cousin who works and stays in the USA.

    The first time I remember using it is in college around 1995 or so. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing in the world.
