2002.
My first taste of the internet was around 2001 in work.
Although i was part of the school computer team (or geeks as we were known then) that sent the schools first email back in 1993. We sat around the schools one decent PC and we sent an email to another comprehensive school around 20 miles away. It took them 3 hours to reply but it was an amazing experience back then! :-)

so can anyone beat 1988?
Maybe I can equal it. I don't know. 1988 was my first year at university and I remember, with a tutor, using one of the 'computer labs' computers to access dissertations that had been done at American universities. It was explained to me at the time that the computer I was using was 'talking' to the one over there. Was that the internet?
We also used the same computers to leave messages for each other - a kind of forerunner to email
EDIT: Just actually bothered to read the whole topic! Sounds like it was the same JANET system you referred to a few pages back!

Got one for academic study initially cost a fortune weighed a ton no idea what I was doing. Was there a Windows 90? Would have been between 1990 to 1994 Basically used it as a word processor. Then first home of I got from "Tiny" dial up took ages sounded awful and still didn't know what I was doing really. It has Windows XP I think would have been 1999 ish First isp I think were called wannadoo or some shite. Anyway it's all so different now...I still don't know what I am doing though.
