In finding my thread on getting started in Quake II I had to find some of the posts I made asking questions about Quake II.
I had started on Gamespy's PlanetQuake forums I did a search for posts from my username.
In the search results on PlanetQuake I had found the thread I had posted 'back in the day' asking how to play Quake online against other people.
My friend had told me you had to use the 'tcp/ip' options and on my Quake it was greyed out. Anyways, they got me straightened out and online with my 14.4 modem.
I played Quake for a couple months actually then left to play Tribes for about a year and a half.
Then left Tribes because it was overrun by losers and started getting heavy back in to Quake.
The post requesting help getting online with Quake was dated sometime in '03.
Which means I've only been playing games like Quake online for 3 years. Wow. Seems like longer.

I remember... I had my 233mhz. I was in my uncle's apartpent computer rapair shop. I was a total noob. I bareley knew what computers had or what MINE hat at the time. I did'nt knopw about video cards. I asked my uncle what the processor in computer I was useing had/was (to play red faction)... he said 1gig... I was like wow... that's fast! I have no idea what the best was at that time, but I strongly remember playing my first ever online Quake game. At 65.135.216.78. The old FVF IP ( I think)... Then I remember going there alot just to play Quake (I was a HPB). The player "hat" was born. My uncle moved on from the apartment reapir shop and to something else... but I remember my new computer was planned there. 2gig, 512mb, 40gig, and high-speed internet. Well, when I got it, it had 2gig celeron 400fsb 256k l2, 512mb ddr value ram, some Biostar mobo, 8gig, dvd player. Well, since it was planned about 4 months went by and I recieved it. Then a few days later I got a 32mb video card. About another 2-3 months passed and I got high-speed internet. So in about 8 months the player "hat" was reborn. Since then 4 years passed and my computer got more powerful, and so did I.

There's no such thing as too long when playing Quake, D.

I believe it was 1998 and I played on my dad's mac to connect online. I was only allowed to play for an hour a day, since it was dialup.

I began Quake in either 1997 or 1998, then went to Quake II in 2000 but returned to Quake 1 in 2001.
I've played other games but they're insignificant, I played City of Heroes for a few months and it was fun but you have to be really devoted to play it all the way through, and at the time I didn't have a lot of free time to play it. Uhh...Worms Armaggedon (played multi but it was a hard game), Hexen, Hexen 2 (both singleplayer, I never played multi on those), that's basically it.
