I worked with my now corp mates. They told me all about it and at break time showed me Eve-Online. After about a month I finally installed it. That was over a year ago.

My nephew showed me the game in 2004. I had never played any video games. I jumped into the game with absolutely no gaming experience (mmorpg, and or home video games). I was fascinated with the graphics. Today, I am still a noob with gobs of SPs.

PCGAMER UK ran a three day trial a very long time ago, and I decided to install the game and try it out. Three days later I had a subscription.

I played in beta... but nobody believes me. 
Then ended up without access to the web for a couple of years...
...thing is I have no idea where I first heard about the beta.

A corpm8 from Earth and Beyond say "hey there are looking for beta testers for this new game" Hmm that was a long, long, long, time ago, on a server with far fewer people and far more fun.

First heard of the GHSC heist, then there was another scam, both reported in PC GAMER (UK), Then at Christmas last year, after being brought to the point where I wanted to punch someone repeatedly (Guild Wars + Xmas event extension = AAAAAGH!), I frantically searched my collection of magazine coverdiscs and saw an EVE trial on one of them.

I think it was a banner for Eve that drew my curiosity; a few screenshots later and I was sold. But then I was like "*&^@# why hadn't I heard of this game before?"
I wish CCP was more aggressive in their marketing.

Another ex-Earth and Beyonder. My friend got into Eve beta and dragged me in shortly after it went gold.

Saw E&B on store shelves as a little lad, wanted to play it. Lo and Behold I was visiting Canada and I stopped at a game store in some Mega Mall, and saw EVE and thought "Hey, its similar to E&B." and I had the cash on me then. So I bought it. It ended up sitting in my room for a few months until I finally got my first computer. And then I started to play the **** out of it.

Same here 
I "found" EVE way too long ago to even remember WHEN it was, not how I found it.
Can't remember how I got to the main site nor forums, but I got there.
Back then, I had such a slooooow and lousy internet connection, I didn't even dare download the client.
Well, actually, I tried, but for some reason "resuming" was not supported, so I gave up after a few tries.
Kept lurking in the forums, reading the articles and so on.
Eventually, around half year later, got a friend to download the client, tried to install it... surprise, installer verification locked at 93% on all comps. Got another friend to download it, exactly the same thing. I gave up for another half year or so, when I finally got it downloaded and installed.
Surprise, surprise, there was no "free trial" back then, or at least I didn't know about it. Tried talking about payment methods, but billing was quite primitive back then, so I wound up NOT PLAYING again.
Eventually, I came across (yet another half year later) upon free trial offers for EVE. Downloaded and installed the client (got a decent internet connection already back then), but my job at the time was very time consuming, so I eventually ended up not playing... but played a good deal of trial accounts, only for a very short while on each (if I actually played more than 10-12 hours out of the 14 days on any of those trials, I'd be surprised), spread across yet another half year or so.
Eventually, after a job change (including city relocation), soon after "the Bloodlines patch" (only had one other trial under "Blood" except this one), I ended up creating "Akita T", this time with the intent to keep it.
And well, more than 1.5 years later after creation (and more than 3 years since I first tried to play EVE), here I still am...

A friend of mine has been playing since 2004 or so, mentioned it back there, but didn't listen to him and then I was bored the other month and finally decided to give it a shot.

I was beta testing EnB and someone in one of the chat channels said Eve beta was better and was going to kill EnB when it's released so I signed up.

I found out about the Eve around 2002 through a website that what I remember listen games in beta. At the time I where playing Jumpgate (EU) but where annoyed that you only could gain levels through shooting at things.
