My grandma had a family computer that was loud af. My moms family computer was a lot quieter but i wasnt allowed online until i was like 11 or 12. I had a myspace for like a year before facebook happened.

Ah, you’re only like 5 years younger than me. I work in a college library and the young adults keep making me feel my millenial age, so maybe I over-explained.
Were you on dial-up, too? That dialtone just announced to everyone you were getting online, no way to hide.

Im old enough that we had computer labs in my elementary school but i didnt really grow up with dial up, no. My early online experience was youtube, club penguin, and reallyfunarcade. But i think thats why my grandmas computer was so loud. It sounds like a Transformer with diarrhea? She got rid of it when i was like 8.
