POLL: Your internet usage: a sign of the times?

[Rataxes]

So what you're saying is that you would never have gotten in touch with computers or the Internet if it hadn't been for work? I'm not saying I'm surprised that not everyone prefers sitting by a computer, to playing tennis or something to that extent. But that almost half of the people here had never even used the Internet up until 3-4 years ago, that I find very strange, since it is such an integral part of most peoples everyday life.

I haven't been hiding...I’ve been preoccupied with other activities. My gf Taryn is here from Canada for 3 months so I’ve been spending time with her (she’s on the right). Can you blame me?



And to put the thread back on topic, this is probably the reason why my internet usage has declined for the first quarter of this year. She’s going to Japan in a month though so I expect to make up lost ground in the second half of this year (gee, I sound like a salesman explaining why my first quarter sales results are so poor!!)

Just sending this back up in case more people want to vote...

WOW!! i've just worked out I was on the net over seven years ago, But I stopped for 4 years and went without a computer *Babies * till last year. And let me tell you a lot has changed since then.

But I've been playing on computers since the early 1980's. and yes they did have computers back then. Oh the joy of programming in BASIC and space invaders thats 20 years of computers and i still can not understand the buggers [img]tongue.gif[/img]
