I'm 22 and we got the internet when I was 13... so I either was looking up porn, or reference stuff for school.

Yep back in 1995 I went to the lab at school and was looking for cheat codes for mortal kombat II for the SNES.

I was young, horny and my parents were outside when I hooked up our computer to the internet. So of course it was porn.

Using an archaic netscape I searched Lycos for what was probably porn, years and years ago

Wasn't called the Internet yet. Was on-line back in 1983 using "VideoText" and looked for protocol to hook up an accoustical coupler to a CNC machine. Wound up finding out how to make a NULL Modem and did the job.

Would have been using Yahoo back in 1995 but I have no recollection of what I typed in as my first search. Newsgroups on the other hand...lol. Once I discovered what those were and what was on some of them it was definitely pr0n!
