I sent my first email some 14 years ago from a VAX/VMS machine to a friend in other college over gnet.
A day later, I received internal email (decnet) from the system administrator warning me that email was academic-related communication only.

 

[Modeps]

I'm 11. Of course, I could be mistaken... 4 years of Internet in college, 4 out of college, 3 or so in High School.

 

[jjones]

About 11 or 12.

I spent a lot of time on that system. (I also managed to mess up the library system - a primative database of user programs - shared by MIT and Mass General Hospital. My teacher got a phone call about that incident.)

That was in 1965...

They suspended my account at Alfred after I had about 100 subscribers to a weekly story I had been writing... using up too much memory I got my account back, but with a stern warning not to use email for that purpose any more.

9 or 10 I think. First time I connected to the internet was via WebTV when I worked at the electronics department of Burdines here in Orlando. At that time I didn't have a computer. I also used to use my friend's computer a lot back then, was '95 or '96, he had AOL, and we used to try to mac on the AOL hunnies.

i remember those days, too, & my online age is about the same.

 

[TheVrolok]

7 years or so I think?

 

[Trygve]

21, though I would have used some dial-up services before then.

 

[crazycarl]

i believe about 8 - had an external 14.4 and aol starting in 8th grade, in spring '96, . although i had internet at school starting in 6th grade, with gopher and WAIS to get text documents. netscape starting in 7th grade.
so i guess, since the first i got on the net, I am now 10!!!

 

[stickybytes]

i would say 5-6.
i remember my first experince with aol, think it was like version 6. now its like 9. makes me feel like a old hag.
