I never had the opportunity to have access to the internet.Only 1 year ago I got a dial up connection, only for the purpose of my existing business of distributorship. My office accountants were using the computer and hence I had no idea of using internet. Only from the last 3 months, I am using internet and I found it quite interesting. Your 11 years at interest work must have given you a fairly good idea of how spamming has spread wider and wider and you think people have become wiser about these scams?

Yes it has, and the spamming has become unbelievable. Also on the increase is the viruses and trojans. But what can we do, just keep our computers protected and be careful.

I've had the net for about 6 years. Started off with dial-up then changed to cable net then to dsl. I liked the cable net the best just couldnt afford it anymore.

I think cable net is too expensive. It isn't new technology anymore.

That's crazy to think about, thanks for bringing this up! I've been a vivid user of the net for about 5 or 6 years now! It's fun to watch all of the new and upcoming technology and things like myspace, youtube, and now myLot!

We've had it since about 1996. My son was addicted back then and spent hours and hours talking with his best friend on the phone and experimenting with things on the internet. I started learning the computer after he did. It wasn't until the past 2 or 3 years that my husband has actually gotten interested in surfing the net. We wouldn't want to be without it now.

I think I've been using the Internet since about 1995. Before that I used bulletin boards a little (they were what newsgroups developed from).
