Ah, I remember the old days, where if you wanted to ping everyone you had to enter all their names, one by one, in hexadecimal. Of course, there were only 38 of us at the time, but hey, that’s a lot of 0’s and 1’s and up to F’s - did you know “DEADBEEF” is a valid hexadecimal address? Well, when one of us decided to claim that one as a nick pandemonium broke loose and JimRob finally decided that this newfangled alphabet thingy was the way to go. It worked until somebody decided to claim “A+Bert” as an addy, and then the Internet broke again. Then graphics. These dang kids wanted graphics in color - what, the nekkid ladies made up of ASCII characters wasn’t good enough fer ‘em? Naw, we had to have graphics, and fonts, and frames, and tables, and bleedin’ Watney’s Red Barrel. Some clown would post something in Cyrillic that marqueed across the dang screen and then the rest of us would have to throw random HTML code at it until it went away. Those were the good old days. What was the question again?
