from 90-93 mk and I used to chase each other around local BBS's at 1200 baud (2400 if you were rich). I went off grid for a few years and when I came back in 1996 the whole world had changed and you got an email address for FREE from the university. While I was off grid I remember being at some one's house and seeing Netscape for the first time. I remember my mind exploding and thinking "some one has connected all of the BBSs and put a GUI on them!"
