I was kinda late to the "Surfin' the Net" and "Journey in Cyberspace" game
because I thought it was a fad, the marketing/media promotion was stupid, and
honestly I didn't understand the hype behind WWW when I was content with
Gopher, IRC, FTP etc... Netscape on OS/2 was not exactly a thrill ride either.

I think I mentioned that this and some other computing habits changed almost
overnight when I saw Windows 2000 Server edition... all bets were off.

Now am happily content to be using and thoroughly abusing my Fiber
connection...  I doubt I can really go "beyond" that.

I do admire Starlink, was thinking of that for a backup connection, for my
career requires constant monitoring/babysitting remote stuff via VPN etc.
