lol... In the late 80s, early 90s, I operated a BBS system on a few dial-in landlines. And around the upstate, the various system operators pretty much all knew each other and kept up with the developments. I remember it was around 1993 or 94 that several of us were gathered at one operators house, drinking beer and playing DOOM. One of the guys, who was a computer science major at the university, got us to all gather around at his desk as he dialed up the college servers, and from there accessed.... the internet. It was slow, but there in front of us was the Ferrari website. (or maybe Lambo... can't remember for sure)

It wasn't long after that when we all starting to close down our small boards.

Anyway, my point would be that people were online when moot was 5, and the internet community existed a good ten years before http://images.uncyclomedia.co/illogi...4chan_logo.png.

I remember going online with Compuserve and I bought a pair of Levis online in about 1990 or 1991. It was at 2400 Baud, green text on a black background no graphics.

I too ran a BBS using Wildcat and knew most of the SYSOPS in the area. I remember using Fidonet to ask advice about buying a CD ROM burner drive. The answer came from Australia about getting a Plextor 2X drive because it was fast and reliable. Writing at 2X was FAST!. :cool:

It's all about muzzle awareness.

I've been in that sub, they call it the scorpion.
I was amazed at how crude and basic the soviet technology was.

B-39 Foxtrot in San Diego. Agree on the crude engineering. Hell I was worried it was going to sink while tied to the pier. Cannot imagine taking one out to sea.

"After all we did for Great Britain, selling all that corduroy and making it swing, they gave us that bloody old leather medal with wooden string through it. But my initial reaction was, 'Oh, how nice, how nice.' And John's was, 'How nice, how nice.” --George on receiving their MBE medals.
