It's a little vague, this question, isn't it? I counted the mid-80s as starting since I was first announced as being born on an old BBS (or so I have been told).
Doesn't this question imply though that nearly everyone here is going to be 20 ?
Or maybe it meant, how many hours have you spent online? I don't think many people would have a good handle on that.

Dangit, I meant: Doesn't this question imply though that nearly everyone here is going to pick more than 20 ? You'd almost have to be a teenager or younger to pick less.

If you were announced as being born on a BBS, you were not online any more than your grandma is online when you post something about her on SoylentNews. (Well, that assumes the "on a BBS" refers to the announcement, not to your birth ;-))

I interpreted as regularly online. Thus although I had internet at school maybe in 95/96 (I can't remember exactly when they got the computers, but they were Windows 95), I didn't regularly use it. It wasn't until '99 that I got internet at home, so choose the 15-20 years option.
