Come back after a long hiatus, and it is all mill rates and Windows tech support.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey, it's the formerly-Gus person. What have you been up to?

Hey... The players may change, but the game stay the same...how long till we're back to table manners, huh? (We need more Wireheads so that quote can name a Bureau, you feel me?)

I was on The Well for a while in '91. But I couldn't afford the $6/hr connection fees....

Hey, tommyrot. Trying to find my Well logon info. My Geek Flag is in tatters.
Other than that, just the usual sold-out-to-the-man mercantile stuff.
Programming, that is.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I used to hand out buttons promoting the Well in the early 90's (they were kind of twilight zonish, as I recall), but I never had an account. Too poor.
I miss the Whole Earth Catalog.

The Well was the first BBS that I spent any amount of time on (it's why I bought my first 2400 kbps modem). At the time it seemed weird that my lowly XT-clone was suddenly communicating with people all over the world. I remember I was really nervous my first few posts....
Nowadays it feels a little strange to be on a computer that's not connected to the internet.

Not vortex, but I can answer the Eyes questions:
it turns out that she shot him so that it took out part of his head. He explained it as some sort of injury acquired while repairing his car. (I think.) I also think it was lame.
