EXCELLENT haircolor, Laura!
Also, nummy looking pizza. Now I'm hungry.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Laura, that color looks great on you!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I've been online since 1990, when I was a college sophomore and two of my best friends were engineering majors who introduced me to the wonders of usenet and mailing lists. They tried to get me into their favorite MUD, but I mainly used my character to chat to them when we were in different computer labs. Because only one of the three of us actually owned a computer. We just lived in the labs.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Laura looks totally awesome!!!!!!
Laura, wash it less, use the Bumble+Bumble or Goldwell products for red hair and you should last a while.
I get to leave work at 1:00 today because my best friend (since 1976) is visiting from Massachusetts! Woo Hoo!
