					|  |  
					| have you been connected to the internetz and what was the first thing that you downloaded (apart from a website)
 I've been online since 2000, though it feels a lot longer
   
 the first thing that I downloaded was some demo of a PC game, dunno what the name was but I do remember that it was 90 mb large hehe, I was like omg  shall I download it or not...

					| 1995. The first thing I downloaded was more than likely a demo or patch of a pc game.
 The first warez I ever downloaded was a guns n roses album in like 2000 or something.

 Best friend showed me how to connect to his computer at his house via DOS and download a HowTo .txt for setting up IRC.  And then my normal life was over.

					| I think it was 95-96.  
 I had used an intranet/email through my work but didn't know much WWW.  My brother law gave me a used mac (before classic).  When I hooked it up the phone line it just worked, I never paid for it.
 
 First thing I d/l was a porn picture.  It took a long time.
 
 
  	  |  Spoiler: |  	  |    a jpeg of a girl with a toothbrush stuck up her butt.   | 
 
 I emailed it as a attachment (first yahoo account, never sent an attachment before)   to my brotherinlaw with a message telling him to brush his teeth before he went to bed that night.   His wife got got super offended and weird about it.  It was when I first realized that some women had a huge problem with it even when it was a joke.
