When I started using Internet

I really don't remember when I started use Internet. Probably was when I was at the elementary school. Yes, I remember now, was the 7th class of elementary school and this was in the year 1999, it was very slow because the connection was dial-up, but I like to much because was something new. So I started use mIrc, wonderful program for chat, I met many friends on it but few year later I deleted it because I have received many viruses. My second connection was and is ADSL which is better then dial-up connection. With Internet I download music, film (divx), games, watch funny videos on Youtube, chat with msn messenger and play online games. Now I can't use Internet because in these hostel I don't have the connection.
