When the only way to communicate with the geeks in the community was on our PCUG's BBS; the cutting edge place to be was at the base unit as the SysOp.
It ran on pre-GUI standards DOS software using first a 300, then 1200 and finally a 9600 baud modem.
Lightning fast, let me tell you.
Now I sit here with my Evo nestled in my hand, typing faster with my thumb than I ever did with both hands. The message I am writing will be seen only on my blog.
This blog was started in 2004, cutting edge at the time. Now it feels like finger painting on the wall of a cave in rural france.
