Yay! Anniversary! Leftover zarnans from that one party for everyone! And of course, major gratitude to CoolSlider and Stax_ for making this feature a fixture all those years ago.

Last time, MissingSliderRyan, GALAXYZERO and Recall317 braved my awkward phrasing (and the Zone of No Logic or Production Values known as S5) to identify these similarly named groups...

The Great Work: Keepers (MSR, GZERO)
New Gods for Old: Believers (MSR, R317)
Please Press One: Refusers (MSR)
Easy Slider: Smokers (MSR, GZERO)
Dust: Packers (MSR)

Today's question: name five episodes in which one or more of our Sliders used the internet. Corporate intranets don't count, no matter how many of them Wade spent S3 hacking into...

by memory. I believe the following episodes have some kind of reference or scene of using the internet.


Time Again and World
The Young and the Relentless
Dead Man Sliding
Asylum
Revelations
Just Say Yes
Net Worth
Genesis

Now I may be wrong on one or two of them, but I know I'm right on at least 6 or 7 of them.

Let's run down the winning five...

Time Again and World: Wade *somehow* distributes the Constitution CD online.
The Young and the Relentless: Quinn and Wade visit the "Surfing Zone" cybercafe.
Genesis: Hadn't thought of this one, but I'll count the Magg internet as a valid answer. (See also "Mother and Child")
Net Worth: Duh. :-P
Revelations: Maggie's *cough* pocket change pays for a modem to hack into phone records.

Most of the other episodes mentioned aren't eligible, as they involve standalone computers if any. In "Murder Most Foul," Diggs had "no modem connections available." In "Asylum," I think Colin was only looking up article scans on the library computer, not surfing the web.

The other episode I had in mind was "Last Days." Way back in 1995, the net was Arturo's first stop in locating fellow concerned scientists (although we didn't actually see him at the keyboard.)

Good showing, JM!
