[closed] When was your first time you use the Internet/email?

[Oddfather]

At this age and time, Internet and email has become very much a part of our everyday life. Some of us can't live a minute without it. This includes me. So much so that I have email and web access in my mobile. Let share some of the good things or horrifying things when we first started using the Net.

Mine goes back on 1994 when I applied to Jaring for an email account. The reason for the email access was that my HQ in Sweden was already using emails to communicate. So not to be left out, I applied for one. After completing the application form with a copy of my IC, they told me that they will call me for an interview. One week later, I went for the interview. First question they asked, why do you need a internet access and who are you going to communicate. The rest is history. After they approved my application and gave me an id to log in, I asked them where I cud get the internet software. The girl pull out a list and told me that nobody in KL has the original and this is the list of ppl whom has the copies. So much for IPR.

Hokay.....give a bit of support to uncle....... :p
Me, started using internet about 4 yrs ago when my other friends complained about me being a jakun :o , and they threatened not to keep in touch with me unless I get into net..........so I finally applied.....went for 'tuition' at Page's for a few times b4 I got the grasp of it, harap maklum, sudah tua.........now it has became my addiction :eek: No horrifying stories so far and I hope it stays that way........in fact, it has given me lots of joy.... :D

[LiLiaN]

well, i was given my first computer by gramps as present in 1997... it was about a week after the release of pentium II so i was very excited to get such a high spec pc..! applying for email with jaring was relatively straight forward, and it was the toy of the year for me...

[JC]

1994 - first time on the Internet... 486DX was like "WOWZERS!!"
1986 - first time using a computer... Apple IIe was like "HOT STUFF!!"

[daBoss]

for me? first time on the internet was in 1992... that time no. 1 browser was mosaic and i read about 2 dummies who decided to create a human-combed directory called yahoo... i can still remember thinking to myself - what a stupid idea...

that time i could only find 2 malaysian websites... sirim and usm (universiti sains malaysia)...

mine was in 1994 using my 486DX2 computer... not many ppl that time and no spam... mails are always welcomed... infact there's not many ppl to email to.

[KoChun]

Cannot recall, probably 1995, when I was studying in the uni.

To who did you send your first email or first site you visited?? Care to share??

[KoChun]

I cannot even remember the year, now you want me to remember to who I sent my first email? Sorry, really cannot remember.

[Odysseus]

My first email was in 1988. I guess internet and ICQ was in 1993. But my first encounter with computer was in 1985. I will tell you more after lunch. Now, busy la...

[KeeOng]

Cannot recall, probably 1995, when I was studying in the uni.

Same but 9 years ealier :)

[crackjet]

My first internet usage was over the UNIX system in the year 1996. I remember sending mails by typing away on a screen full of 1's and 0's and of course, text, and soon realise, hey, there's pictures in emails, after I've discovered Mac and Windows 95.

Hotmail was really cool at that time, then the ICQ, then.... the rest are history.

[KoChun]

Hotmail was really cool at that time, then the ICQ, then.... the rest are history.
My first encounter was with rocketmail. :)

[Zazu]

i think i first used pegasus then eudora...

[noname]

Mine is around 1996 when i first bought the computer. apply tmnet dialup (tt's time no streamyx yet). so use for almost everyday, at least 4 hours... so when bill arrived, wallet burn hole... ahahaha

spend 100++ for tmnet... i think the highest is around 150++...

now use company line... FOC plus darn fast.

[SS2006]

My first e-mail when I just start working in 1995. No internet access as internet monitored by postmaster.

and now this "jakun" has advanced very verry much indeed...yaay! 3 cheers for u, deary! :D

[siewjang]

Can't remember what year I started using internet but it's very very late. My youngest sister who is 7 years younger than me already started chatting on ICQ and i'm still dunno a single thing about e-mail. Then only i started registering with yahoo. I'm addicted to the chat room. Was a regular there till I found this forum. Still keep in touch with other chatters but don't have time to chat there anymore. haha... now even busier with blog. :)

[Chris C]

[euj]

my first time using the email was in 1994 in KL when i was studying in KDU. they were using the old PINE system.

[ausman]

My first computer... I think is 486DX... (Alka correct meif I'm worng) that was THE most powerful machine... 1992/3
My first email... 1994 July. Using Pine system tooo.... OLD but was the only system... I think I sent my first email to myself... then to daboss?? I think so
My first internet... 1994...July Pine system.... them later in Sept that year... went onto Mosiac.... s the only guy in the my uni having that access...

[Chris C]

:laugh: Ausman.........what did u write to yourself??

[Alkapocino]

Alamak! No wonder my Mama In Law chuckles away with what you wrote. I have to read it twice in order to digest it. :o

Yup...4EightySixDX was a machine everyone wants to have at that time....with 8MB RAM!!!! Can play PACMAN hahahahaha! That was my first PC too in 1992, with double floppy disk drive. Still remember we have to 'park' our hard disk with a DOS command....like parking our car. Dem 'keng'. :laugh:

Ausman was the one who helped me to sign up to my first email. Dem jakun when a whole gang of us walked in to a Cyber Cafe in Damansara Utama. I think that was in Year 1994. Turkey & ah^wong were there too? Hmmm...cant' remember what's the email address already. Was it alkapocino@usa.netaddress.com?

Thanks Ausman. :)

[h2o]

1985 - used wordstar on wordprocessor the size of a container!!! yikes :eek:
and used computerised sun control software at our faculty to analyse our models (forgot what it was called)
1989 - my first home computer... MacSE
1994 - first time on the internet on a 486DX at home - we didn't have internet at work yet... so belakang

[monay]

1996- when i came to the states... never owned a pc before... actually still don't....it's all my hubby's, so i don't know what make or model and i don't think i can put one together either, too many wires and parts.... :)

My first encounter with computer was in 1985 when I first enrolled into computer degree in USM. That was the year when computer was introduced to schools. I remember ACS Sitiawan won the “computer club of the month” award from either Star or NST. Jimmy See submitted the nomination. Not sure which year was that and I was still in the campus.

That time, not many people have contact with computers. So, you can expect many funny questions relating to computers were asked that time. You may laugh at it but its real. The classic one was “Do you need to be good in English to do programming?”. This was before any contact with programming class.

My first contact with computer was in a tutorial class. This is how the tutor introduced computers to the bunch of sua-kus.
1. To introduce keyboard.
“Siapa pernah guna typewriter”
“Keyboard lebih kurang sama dengan typewriter kecuali dia ada beberapa key tambahan”

2. To introduce monitor
“Kotak di depan anda bukanlah television. Ia di panggil monitor”

3. To introduce diskettes (remember, that was 1985. No CD nor thumb drive yet)
The tutor was flipping the 5.25 inches diskette in front of the class and trying to explain what a diskette is for. I can’t remember what he said but I only remember the price. It cost me RM8.50 for a piece of diskette. Sorry, cannot remember the capacity as well.

First attempt to programming was like typing class. The tutor had to give us a sample program for us to type it in. Just to give us a feel of programming and how to run it. Even that, we can’t type properly. Lots of bugs and the tutor had to run around to help us debug.

However, we were told by our seniors that we were very lucky that the university administrator just decided from my batch onwards, we do not have to learn how to use punch cards any more. We are the high tech batch.

Hard disk? Cannot visualize what is it as personal computers hardly come with harddisk those days. Have to ask seniors to explain. They simply put is as “a big capacity diskette placed inside the computer”.

Monitor was either monochrome or color. Color ones cost almost RM1000 each.

The PC we had at that time was running on 8080 or 8088 CPU from Intel. These were the predecessors of 80286, 80386 and 80486. I think they were running at only 2-4mHz. Compare this with today’s Pentiums. Some PC came with CPU booster. You press a button, the CPU clock can go up to 10 mHz. Dem cun man…. RAM was only 16K. To have a PC with 64K was like having a 1GB RAM today . Harddisk was around 10 or 20GB. This was the spec of my first personal computer that I bought in 1988 for RM3,700.

The only Windows we know are the actual tingkap. We use DOS. Never heard of Windows yet. Popular productivity applications were WordStar, and Lotus 1-2-3. WordPerfect was around but never tried it.

Laser printer was something from Star Wars era. Never get to touch it. Reserved for VIP only.

To be continued…..

The year was 1998...i was in Form 4

Dad got a computer for our house...yippee!! unlike monay, myself hor...i'm daddy little assistant since a lil kid...in any technical stuff ;p
So with the computer...i was the one figuring out which wire/plug goes in where.

Very soon, applied for TMNet dial-up account, which we are using at home till today...so very first email encounter was opening up my yahoo.com primary email address...which is ever existent, and i think it will forever =) jay_lavan....hehe...i have many more email accounts nowdays...some i have abandoned & forgotten...but this one i will not lor.

If not mistaken, the very first email i sent was a test mail to my home (TMNet) account lar...nothing great. Mainly used internet to search for stuffs related to studies. I didnt understand the "craze" of msn-ing & ICQ-ing...esp with strangers...haha, the only time i chatted was once (co-chat with s few other friends, in school comp lab). While my sis was chatting in msn chat rooms...i was the "jakun" back then...simply didnt see any sense in talking to strangers..."Hi, hru...ASL please...blah blah..." BORING!

Hmmmmm...the most i did was get an e-pal have alwayz wanted to have pen-pals...but the lazy me...too much of a hassle to sit down & write, and post...:p
WIth internet & email...it was cool! faster...She still exists in my life...though rarely keep in touch. sweet young thing...

after F5...started to use email more, to keep in touch with friends...who started to leave school.

Then after I left school...it became ever more important to email family & friends...and found Friendster website early last yr...i'm amazed at the number of "friends" i have there...though dont write to each other often, its great to know ur connection/network is there.

When did i realli MAXIMIZE the usage of internet??? After coming Seremban :D
...and getting STREAMYX...KUDOS!!!!!!!

Without Streamyz...i'd never have ended up forumming, & chatting via msn/yahoo/googletalk (latest..so far onli 1 person on my list) - its amazing how i've come to chat with so many complete strangers now...yup, in this amazing forum too! And feel as if i know them...

surfing & finding out so many things bout comp...like having modified the basic friendster blog to making a tailormade one...by myself..yippee!

having found & still learning alot bout googling, useful websites...new skills...one word said enuff - WOW!

of coz i use it lits for googling stuffs that'd help in completing my assignments & checking out recommended websites...dont bother fighting for comps in Uni's comp lab...unlike my Bukit Jalil days...and yet spend...more appt to say WASTE hours in front of the super-slow connection while waitig for sites to download.

In short...without Streamyx, when i'm at home in my Jalan Rasah (Seremban) house, i'd go into depression & be dead! :p
it almost happened a few hrs ago...when after heavy rain, and restarting my modem & router...had some hiccups...unable to connect :eek:

i thought, "Oh man! How long is this gonna last!!! I'm so deaded...."
But thank God...it lasted just a few hours....the COUPLE of AGONIZING HOURS....phew!

At this point of my life...CYBER WORLD is MY REAL WORLD! Sounds weird and scary??? well...i spend more time in here on an average, i guess...so *shrugh*

les, waiting impaiently for PART2...that was like reading the history of computers :D
lurved ur story..

[cucuan]

More often than not when I read about this Digital Divide announced by the govt I tend to take it for granted to mean nothing more than Digital Divide between the urban and the rural area or between the towns and the kampungs/new villages.

The more I think of it the more I am beginning to understand why aren’t the OPA committee members responding to our calls to join in the Forum. In fact one of our members (of the Forum) doubted whether anyone of the OPA committee members has any email addresses. That point brought up slipped my mind until when I received a reply following my message to one of our Forummers to get his father to join in the Forum.

You see, many of us have reached a point in our lives that we take a lot of things for granted. Just because we move around in our cars, communicate with each other via emails, icqs, mobile phones, takes photos with digital cameras, we tend to think that everybody has a car, computers and digital cameras. This thought brought me back to where I was years ago when I was in Sitiawan. To put in an American expression “You need no cars, no handphones, no digital cameras when you are back in Sitiawan.”. This is very true because one can use “cub-chai” or bicycle to move around and one can use a fixed line to communicate with each other and there is no need to incur extra cost in subscribing for a handphone. Likewise there is no need for a PC to be installed at home because letters can either be hand written or type written. Having PC is one thing but subscribing to broadband is another. If one were to use dial-up, then the home line will be blocked but if one were to use broadband, extra cost will be involved again.

As for me I started learning the PC when I started my chambering way back in 1991 (wordstar was the programme). From there I graduated into windows and Microsoft words when I started my own practice. I started using the internet because I had to communicate with my two girls when they were overseas. They taught me how to use the emails and the icqs so that we can keep in touch almost everyday and at anytime of the day. Subsequently I had to email documents and communicate with our clients via emails. I have invested in a laptop for myself and another one for my younger daughter at home because I felt it is important to have one laptop for my own even though I also have a desktop for myself in my office. The capital outlay maybe quite a sum but I feel it’s worth spending the money on it. It is a question of perception.

Now back to the Sitiawan scenario. I remember when we were in Sitiawan, I started cursing and swearing when the Majlis started collecting parking charges at the rate of 10 sen per hour. Now when I have to pay 60 sen per hour in PJ and in KL it can be as high as RM5-00 per hour, I have to tamely (“kwai-kwai”) pay without any fuss and at times use the valet parking services in hotels especially when I am late for a meeting. It is this perception of cost. It is against this backdrop that I begin to realize that it may be an uphill task for us to get the committee members to join in this Forum because they do not feel the need to have a PC of their own. If I am not wrong, Mr. Peter Ling could be the only member who has access via email and as for the rest I am not sure.

I am not giving up hope yet. Probably, for starters, why don’t you Forummers get a PC for your old-folks (maybe as a birthday gift or anniversary present) and let them know the hours of pleasure they can get out of the internet access in communicating and learning online.

Yeah, my first encounter with home PC was through Jimmy. It was in 1995 and we were sharing a house together. He tried to teach me computer, but I found it boring. That time I was more interested in 'pak tor' :p ing

I learned that Jimmy was one of the driving force behind the school computer club :) I thought he was going to work for Microsoft but I guessed he has other passion as well :)

Harddisk was around 10 or 20GB.
Correction: Those days, harddisk was only 10 - 20 mb.

[dreamwh]

First time used computer was at my uncle's place... 1985, during primary school holidays. I think it was an Apple II. Played mostly games; Frogger, Attillery, Captain Goodnight, Night Driver, etc. Damn addicted...

First own PC was in 1994 while in Uni. Games again; Doom, Dune and OMF2017!!!

Second PC in Uni, 1998 - my fav, super souped up for that time with 64MB Ram, 300MHz AMD K6-2 w 3D Now! & a 4MB Riva-128 graphics card!!! Bought to do thesis, but used it mostly for Quake 2, Half-life, Unreal, Heroes of Might & Magic 3 and of course surfing internet (dial-up).

First time used internet in 1994 at University's Mac lab... first time used email in 1996.

[Hisham]

It seems that I had a sudden technological shock when I came back in 1994 from the UK. There, we only rumours of the internet, and we didn't have access to PCs. When we arrived at Subang airport, we saw people carrying handphones, which we never seen before. (We had been at an ulu place in Scotland.)

Then after reading this and that, I discovered what the internet was, and I think, by 1995 I entered my first cybercafe to surf the internet in Terengganu. At that time it was like RM8 an hour. Real expensive. Got me a hotmail account which I no longer use now.

When my housemate bought a computer in 1997 / 1998 I regularly surfed. By 2002 I'd created my first Geocities site. This year I got my own weblog and my own site with domain name. If you told me that I would have all this 10 years ago, I'd probably have laughed.

Now I think I spend more time online than I do asleep per day. :laugh:

First time I used the pc was in school...back in those days when Mr. Low formed a computer club. Must have been before 85. Then I went to uni and my bro got one when I was in 2nd year. Discarded my typewriter back then because the comp was really so useful when it came to assignments. Then we got our own computer.

We moved to our current place in 93. Prior to that we were in Baling. No hope of connection there then. The following year we got our internet connection. We were the first few in Alor Star to apply. Zazu even got so good at troubleshooting and configuring that he taught our computer guy how to do it. He's really into all this computer thingy.

And when broadband was made available we jumped on the bandwagon as well...mainly because Zazu was really crazy about all this techie stuff. I think we were fourth or fifth signing up in Alor Star back then. The book which I had to write my application in only had 3 or 4 names ahead of ours. So, we had sort of been trail blazing in a way.

I just tagged along all these years and as a result have become quite computer literate. These days, we spend more time logged on than logged off. And now with workplace connected, lagi more time....difficult to imagine not being connected this way....and at home, there're 2 desktops and two laptops, counting the one that the gomen pinjam us teachers.... and 4 pdas, even my 4-year-old has her own pda.... And the house is LAN and wi-fied oso. :D And yes! 10 years ago, I would have not imagined this....

[Oddfather]

For Amelia case, 10 years from now, she will get the rice cooker on from her work place. Using a PDA to on the house air-con... bla, bla...

For Dr ZazuD, using his PDA to on the microwave to heat his dinner since Amelia is busy playing badminton online :laugh: .

Lil, my own experience came relatively late, abt 1997 too, whilst coming across the cybercafe concept for the first time and also "eh, what is www ah?" ....jahil betul masa tu.....hotmail and rocketmail (later Yahoo) were hot hits then......

well, i was given my first computer by gramps as present in 1997... it was about a week after the release of pentium II so i was very excited to get such a high spec pc..! applying for email with jaring was relatively straight forward, and it was the toy of the year for me...

[amelia7]

oh! now my imagination can run a bit wild with this techie stuff...but that'll be for another thread-lah. But I imagine it should be much better than this... :D

My first experience with computer was when my sister brought home an Apple II compatible back in 1981, it came with a monochrome screen, I remember the text was in green. I was quite facinated with the BASIC language interpreter that came with it, one that you could write something like the pseudo-code below:

10 do something
20 do something
30 if X > 5 goto 10
40 end

The computer, come to think of it, I think, was "Lingo" brand, never heard of this "chapalan" brand sold anywhere since. It had dual mode and could switch between the 40 column and 80 column CP/M mode.

I really have to thank my second sister for purchasing the box (need to call her soon), it had changed my life and allowed me to make a career out of it. I love programming, just pure logic, nothing else, little memorizing (which I was and am terrible at). Later on I went to write my first program before the first computer store started its business (was that MCC (Manjung Computer Center?)

This initial exposure prompted me to pick Computer Science Engineering as my major in college. Still enjoying writing code to this days.

Anyone, talking in C/C++/C# out there?

[shiruikage]

Anyone, talking in C/C++/C# out there?
talking in C or taking C? me, i did C++ as part of my fyp.

anyway, first introduced to computer way back in 85 or 86. my uncle brought it home from his company (he worked for intel back then i think even now). at first i thought is was a television, coz it looks like a tv, but my uncle says no lar, not a tv, a machine to play games, and the game he gave us to play...pacman(?my memory is a bit blury on this)!!!! lol!!!!

anyway, after that, i was exposed to computer during the weekly class trip to the computer room during primary school (the one beside the dentist at the office building, beside me tiong's bookstore). i played with serpent's game disk and from then on, im hooked to pc games. lol.

and got my first computer in 95, just after i finished my pmr. lol, still remember the computer uncle told me, "if u wan to learn about computers, amke sure u spoil it." he means that i should just click every single thing in the computer to find out how it works. good advice i say. :) btw, it's a brand new pentium and hearing about email, i pestered my parents to get me an account with jaring.

so there, boring story of the lifetime lol.

on another note, i never used jaring's email. i registered my email account with the then very popular Hotmail and the email is still in use by me today. :)
