Playing flash games on cartoon network and nickelodeon. Not long after, my uncle exposed me to newgrounds. Good times.

Does anyone remember Freenet? It was community dialup where as long as you had a modem you could dial in and use the Internet without your telecom being involved. Anyway I found my way to telnet talkers, which predated web browsers, and you had to telnet into a specific IP address to join a text based chat room. This was the earlier 1990s.
I don't remember, neither the first time I used a computer, I was born in the 2000's.
Looking for cheats, or downloading trackmania car mods I can't remember what came first.
Mid to late 1990s in elementary school computer class. The teacher had us boot up Netscape Navigator on the old Macintosh, and browse to askjeeves or excite or yahoo(I just remember it wasn't Google yet).
Searching for random stuff on Yahoo with my friend when I was in 5th grade.
Similar, went to take your kid to work day with my dad sometime in the 90s. Looked at fractals and MC Escher art.
