 I want to go back to POP3 and Eudora for (all text-based) email,
 reading FAQs on Usenet, local usenet groups (the San Francisco bay area
 had the ba.* hierarchy) and, telnet, Gopher and FTP.

 And the sense of intrigue that finding a new site had, or better yet,
 the first site of its kind.

 I'm a sucker for nostalgia, but damn, if it wasn't exciting doing all
 that for the first time...
