I used my Mac SE online in 1991 (or was it 1990... one of those two). I 
used it to connect to CompuServe back then.

Not too long after I was using it to connect to Prodigy, although I gave 
up on that VERY quickly, it performed like crap on the SE. I don't think 
I even made it past Prodigy's trial period (I used it for maybe an hour 
over the course of a week)

Then there was a break until maybe 93/94 when I used AOL, also originally 
on the SE, but shortly there after on a Quadra 610.

Of course, prior to the SE and CompuServe in 1991, I was using a Mac Plus 
on BBS systems (and before that an Apple II+ on BBS as well as the A2 on 
CompuServe for a period of time... and on some Dow Jones thing I obtained 
from school).

And of course, I'm sure all my stuff is WAY more modern then many others 
on this list were doing.
