1. What web browser do you use?

Internet Explorer 7.

2. What email client do you use?

Eudora at home; Outlook at work.

3. What type of Internet connection do you have at home?

DSL.

4. What kinda of computer do you have?

My laptop is a Toshiba; it's nice, but you wouldn't want to run expensive graphical games on it. My desktop is a Dell, and it runs World of Warcraft quite nicely. In spite of the fact that I use the built-in video, rather than having a separate card.

5. When did you first get 'online'?

Oh, wow. I was on the usenet newsgroups...hmmm. Probably by 1989 at least, maybe earlier? (Dad let me use an account through his workplace.) And at some point in there I got on CompuServe, but I was on the other first (since it didn't cost money). 300 baud modems! I could out-type the connection (and sometimes did...).
