Hi sissy --

Was I there? Only in spirit. This time 20 years ago, I had a Sinclair ZX-81 connected to a 300 baud Byte-Back modem cobbled into one of out multi-line phones at work. The order of the day was the dialup BBS, computer "bulletin board systems". It was text only, a messaging system not too far in concept from this on a user-to-user level.

The internet woulda been accessible primarily via military or university computers. It's certainly been a lot of fun watching things change!
