We got our first computer when I was in grade 5 (so 1996) - at that point I think it just had a couple of games on it. I distinctly recall using a typewriter for a grade 6 Biography paper. I dont think we had the internet/printing programs at home until grade 7 or grade 8 so 1998/1999.

I want to say 94 or 95. I remember one of the internet companies had this maze game. It was super cool. Then they went bankrupt and we had to change to Compuserve.

Beginning of '95, even though I knew about it before then.
One of my good friends in college couldn't believe I got through my first year of college without an email account or a modem. But I kept telling him, "If I get it, I'll spend way to much time online." Jan '95, one of my engineering pre-requisites was a computer programming class, so I had to get one then. Plus, at the end of Jan I got a job in the university department that handled all the account maintenance for the university (via the same friend, he knew I was pretty knowledgeable about computers so he really couldn't understand why I didn't have an account). So within a month I went from no account to having like 3, and being responsible for people knowing how to use email and surf the web and all that!

My first computer was a Commodore 64 that we got in the early 80's. no Internet access at home until the early 90's, though. I think at the time I had a Packard Bell PC.

Seems like we always had computers around while I was growing up (remember playing all those primitive games like the original Reader Rabbit, Oregon Trail, and many others), but it wasn't till about '97 or '98 (when I was 16 or 17) when my dad encouraged me to try out something called the World Wide Web. Been hooked ever since, haha.
