Bunch of old timers around here! :p

Since CIS has been brought up, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned FIDOnet yet. Or offline QWK packet readers. Or BBS packages like PCBoard and Wildcat.

For the C= crowd, do you remember playing with 300 baud coupler modem? :D

Beastie Boys. I was working in the music biz and the Beastie Boys were playing at a record exec's daughter's sweet 16 party. I don't think anyone ever heard of them yet. :)
Wasn't that just a few years ago?

Feels like only a few weeks *sigh*

Just checked wikipedia, and apparently they formed in 1979.

This thread makes me feel like a youngin. The only time I've heard about half whats being talked about here is in other threads on other forums.

Lucky you, I don't even know what the heck half of this stuff is (the older computers) ... Born in 1994... Don't think I'll know much about the past, but more about the future :)
