I first had contact with the Internet in the mid '90s, can't remember the exact year. My cousin showed me her computer and loaded a few pages. It was extremely slow and at some point she couldn't surf anymore because the phone had died LOL. I first gained access to the Internet in 2001. I remember the MSN chatrooms, I met a few people there with which I stayed in touch for a couple of years then we all went our separate ways.
