I didn't start using the Internet until 1998, and I was maybe 13 at the time.
We had CompuServ in 1991, but my interest in computers was only starting to
develop. I learned what a BBS was, but never knew any of them still existed.
They were a thing of myth -legends of and older time. My interest in the
Internet then was for playing games and instant messaging. As I got older I
would learn more and more. As the 'retro' movement picked up steam, I started
indulging in the things that I couldn't apprecaite before.

When I use the word myth and legend, I do so with endearment. Knowing how
things used to be has made me appreciate things more, but I wanted to know
what it was like to use one, hence my being around now. That wonder of what I
didn't understand as a kid makes me some sort of antrhopologist, I
suppose.anthropologist

I'm late the party, but still glad to be here.
