I started using BBSs in the 80s. Starting on 300 baud modem connections and then upwards. It was such a cool feeling like you were living in the future...all with that extremely slow 300 baud.

I guess I tried chasing that feeling for a while, but when the Internet came to consumers (I was on it about a year before it hit mainstream, and even before the World Wide Web), that feeling was there a little. But as it became an everyday tool to use by the world, it became mundane somehow. Hard to describe.

And of course, back then I thought it would be a tool to unite the world, but it's just torn it apart.

makes you so nostalgic to think of things back then... i had a "tech school" registered to the k12.pa.us domain for free. No verification on those :)
