I used Prodigy, dial-up modems, and old text character bulletin boards.

Im pretty sure this was during the time when a lot of ISPs had a monthly flat fee and then charged like another .50 an hour for anything over 10 hours?

Wow.. the memories of old. I remember using a 14.4 baud modem to connect either to the local BBS or to the local small internet provider (I didn't like any of them large AOL/Compuserve conglamorate crap). When I got onto IRC, I originally used mittens only to discover that some other guy had "mittens" as his handle on IRC so I became MsMittens, registered it as a domain. I originally got that for free in 1996 and I still have to this day.
I remember usenet, gophers, WAIS, the world wide "weeeb" (anyone remember that commercial??), ICQ, etc.. They hadn't gotten the browser yet for Macs but they were coming out soon.

Apple MAC Quadra 650 with a whopping 16MB of RAM and a special PowerPC chip to use for graphics. This was still the old Apple chips. The monitor was a huge 15 inch one with a 500MB drive. To install Aldus (BEFORE Adobe bought them) Pagemaker was 22 floppy disks and Adobe Photoshop was 25 (I still have them somewhere). I had a black and white 300 dpi scanner and network printer. The whole setup set me back $12,000 CDN. And I was using nifty things called Iomega Zip drives and disks to submit my desktop publishing stuff to printers.
