I was most into it in 99-02 I guess, started with getting isdn, then adsl sometime in 2000.
At that time it was brand new, like most people felt, and I had no thoughts of stopping like I do now.
I guess I'm a bit more reflected now, but the truth is I don't have all that much else to do until I start school/work.
And even with work I gotta kill time when I'm at home.
I don't see why internet gotta be cut off to have a life, you can have both imo and it will be even greater than just having one.
Just use your brain and adult mind to coordinate your time and you will be fine.
