For me, my Dad brought home a laptop from work and we looked up pictures of pokemon and went to the Simpsons website, circa around 1999. How about you?

I can't even remember. It was dial-up, and I probably found my way to those sites for kids that were coming out around movies and kids TV stations.

The earliest things I can remember using the internet for were looking up cheats for video games, and Neopets, lol
