I started using the internet in 1995 with Windows 3.1 and Winsock.  I don't think it was a PITA..  It actually seemed fairly easy to set up.  You'd just configure Winsock for your ISP and dial in, and you were online.  I did that for a while until in 1996, I got my first job and spent my first couple paychecks on parts for a new PC, which I installed Windows 95 on.
