First use of computer in 1977. Wang PCS 2200. Then TRS-80. Then IBM 1136. Then another super minicomputer. Then an explosion of microcomputers settling on Mac in the 1980's and first half of 1990's.
Online with CompuServe in later part of 1984. Later Mac Symposium or something like that, which seemed surprisingly similar to AOL when it arrived. Got started with the four horsemen of apocalypse (telnet, email, ftp and usenet) in 1988 via leased line connecting local net to remote office, which was on the internet. Only 56 kbps. But it was way better than dial up. A NeXT box made a good server.
