    I can remember what using a computer meant, before BBS's were the rage.

    So, while we're on the subject, how many of you were students at OU in the fall of 1980? Do you remember the Bell terminal lab near the stadium? The one that you could go to in the evenings and play the "Adventure" game on? It's funny what memories can pop up in one's mind from old school days.

    I voted for all of them...

    At one time, I thought a 10 meg HD was the best thing ever!
    Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.

    I was a student somewhere in 1980. D*mn, I didn't realize how
    young and ignorant I was back then. Now, I'm old and ignorant.
    Good times back in the day though...

    heh, i think 14.4 was my slowest. I remember having to configure it differently to work with compuserve and with AOL of course, that was when you paid by the hour for your AOL access and I ended up with a couple big bills...
