It does not seem that old. Neither does my 87 subaru, with a 36 year old carb..
what are some memories?
I started before the internet, early 80s, in an experimental group for the computer called "apple"
I then dialed out on my own in 1986, age 13, got in trouble..
then as luck continued, I was typing my crew chief chores into cold war military era computers in the early 90s.
First I saw of the net, was u-maine, 1996. .colorful. I was running telecom cables there, grinding brand new glass fiber with a hand held gadget to create a connection.
the first sight of the web.. attacked me, I had a stainless plate in my foot...seriously, I was attacked by a computer.
in 1998, paid an embarassing amount at radio shack for a compaq. Huge 5600i. problems ran deep enough to gain FBI.. as a victim. Simply fixed, and I joined a newfound thing called ebay. (I lost money on auction web - that turned out to be a blessing, gained the gov't and some ebay officials to gain a real ID )
took two years off in 2002, very upset.. to 2004.. have not stopped since. Been on the web ever since, almost daily.
I ponder a million hours...realistically, towards 150,000.
