Can you remember one of your earliest interactions online?

I started when I was 19 on AOL, with instant messages and chatrooms.

I remember my friend Halina showing me how it worked on her account. An IM pops up, this guy says, "So what do you like to do?" She looks at me, I reach over and type, "Number 2."

We both laughed. Still makes me chuckle to think about.

Newsgroups and BBS sites in the mid-90s.

@DanielChristensen I was technically on the internet as early as the 80s, but I was just a kid playing games on my dad's unix account. So I got in reaaal early.
