Well, I was without internet service for 2 weeks (F*ing Verizon) and it mostly sucked. I know I've missed a lot on here and my fantasy football teams have suffered a bit. Although, I will say it was nice coming home and doing more productive things then checking my websites. And no, not just porn websites.

Fact: I have never used the internet.
Though I do love me the interwebs.

Seriously, I can't remember.
I haven't a clue. Seems like I've been online forever. Anyone remember dial-up BBS's at 2400 baud? I first got onto the real internet around 1995 when gopher was cutting edge and ftping to wuarchive was a major hub of activity. It's amazing how quickly these changes have become fundamental to our daily lives.

Me neither. I was like 9 or 10 when we got AOL for the first time. So I've grown up with the internet as my main hobby. When I had to send my laptop away for a week once to be fixed, I was bored out of my [expletive] mind.
