Just one.
It was a lot safer then.

I remember someone at Compuserve had a camera that digitized your image.
It was a bunch of characters. That was the first digitized pictures.

The thing back then, all girls were 18, blonde and hair and blue eyes.
Imagine that? Saturday night and all the best looking girls online.

It was easy to read between the lines.

A common acronym we would use is MORF?

Ahhh? That wasn't a David, was it?
I got the same phone call from a friend of mine. He's in telecommunications now.

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?
