Laura, that is an awesome color!

Gorgeous hair, Laura!

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks all, now I just have to keep it from fading like mad.
I didn't use computers in HS, because I is old. It was 1980 when I got my first Apple and did the 300 baud BBS thing. (it seems like my first modem was actually slower than 300, but I don't remember the speed) Loved it! These youngins don't understand the patience required to play back then. When games required typing not mouse clicking.

Ooo, Laura, I love that color!
CaBil, I'm at ETech, which is sort of a kick-ass conference.

I was on Prodigy and a local BBS in high school, but by then we had progressed to a smokin' 1400 baud and only had to push the bits uphill one way. And rarely in the snow.

Because books.
I love the color, Laura! But ... where is your pretty face?!
We had no internet in high school that I know of. And I failed computer programming ... twice. Um.

I didn't use computers in HS, because I is old.
When I took typing, my friend was jealous because my classroom had electric typewriters, while hers was manual. Best class I ever took in HS, typing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Like Laura I am old and there were no computers in HS and only the math and physics majors used them in college.
I first got online with something called SFNet which was put together by an enterprising guy who bought up tabletop PacMan consoles and rigged them all together for a local BBS in the Bay Area and had them stashed all around in cafes. You'd pay for it by the quarter. Twenty five cents for fifteen minutes. It was fun just meeting the locals for a while but holy moly when they got Usenet up and running I was off to the races. In fact, that's how I originally met my co-editor Kim.
Later at one of my jobs I talked my boss into getting AOL, but that was still pre-WWW so it was mostly for email and also for grabbing FTPs for cool things like the Doom Patrol project (very post-modern!).
I was online for many years before I had my own computer. In fact it was after Emmett was born, and I remember driving with EM to the famous Fry's down in Fremont to buy it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I had a 1200 baud modem for my Commodore 64 in HS. When I was in college in 1985 I got Usenet, and I got full Internet access in 1987 when I got a co-op job at the company that Raq is now working for.
