2019 - 35 = 1984...the internet (network of networks or information super hiway) started the year before, 1983...the World Wide Web was invented in 1990 and the internet became publicly available in 1991. CB radio users had handles before the internet, so it is entirely possible to have had a handle for 35 years and longer.

Yup. I was using back on single user at a time Bulletin Board Systems in the 1980s.
