We had a computer, but I didn't realize it could be anything resembling fun til about 1995. My parents were convinced we'd break it and that it was for word processing only.
I got my first computer in the summer of 1997 after working the whole summer in a t-shirt printing factory for $6.50 an hour--and that's when I really got online, I'd say. $30/month internet with Sprint Canada, because it was unlimited, and then Shaw Wave about a year or two later.
