It is amazing how far we have come in such a short time until I realize that 1992 was 24 years ago and while I do not think of myself as old I am now part of the fifty-f*cking-something crowd. Thumbs Down

Amen WanMan! When I have to write down my birthday (1959), it seems so last century and a looong time ago.

It *IS* last century and it WAS a looong time ago. And my birthday was 3 years earlier! I barely qualify for Wan's fifty-f*cking-something crowd. Actually I qualify for the fifty-f*cking-nobody crowd.... Evil or Very Mad

Well thanks for cheering me up Gary! Wink

You could mosey on down to E Colfax in Denver. There's plenty of girls willing to go out on a "date" with you. Laughing

I love how they have to explain what the internet is. Wink

I remember when I got my first modem, connecting to BBSs, it instantaneously expanded my universe from just my PC to dozens of others I could reach in my local calling area and I thought "wow - this is unreal".

Then the internet came around and all of a sudden my range went from dozens of different computers to basically millions (well thousands in that day) with no long distance changes. This completely flabbergasted me.

My first modem was 300 baud on my Colecovision Adam computer. It was neat to dial up and talk to people on the computer. Just like in "War Games". When the internet came along I felt a loss. A loss of the, for lack of a better description, way of life of the direct dial in BBS. They all started to go away. It was sad.

I really miss the trust and openness of the early/pre-Internet days. When the 'net was just a bunch of Unix systems passing email around via modem, it was a lot kinder, gentler, and more honest. There were no spammers, scammers, flamers, and other Internet trolls.
