Steemit is the online hangout for weird Arkies. Used to we had to use IRC, back when Moses was on the internet.

IRC... with a 14.4k phone line modem... ATM0 to make it mute when it dialed up (in the terminal in windows 95) Haha! So much memories!

Kids have no idea how good they've got it these days.

I remember researching my high school debate case over dial-up. The year was 1996, and we'd just buried Moses.

Kids didn't have to learn DOS too. All they have to do is click, and voila! But I liked it this way! I've learned so much how to make a computer work! Never have to call an Indian IT to get it fixed for me. Theses were the days! But I wouldn't go back. What's done is done, next! Since I've learned some basic programming and O/S commands, I do my best to protect myself. That starts by not using Windows at all. Avoid this crap! My computer is 10 years old, and still running like a charm! ;-)

I remember learning HTML by building websites on angelfire and Geocities. And then things got fancy and I lost interest.

Isn't that a requirement to live here? :)
