Man talk about a flashback. I was just answering some questions about the early internet and forms of communication with Red.
As the answers were forth coming the subconscious went on this trip back in time to when I used to have my BBS ( Starfire”s Universe , later to be known as CyberNexus ). The whole world of pain and suffering I went through from 300 baud modems to my first connection to the internet.
To remember all that and then look at the global communities we connect to today.
I remember my first glimpse at the “internet” through a web browsing program called “Lynx”. Completely text driven, and getting the reports of perhaps 2,000 web pages total. Then watch it grow exponentially as time moved on.
One of these days I am going to have to go resurrect that old BBS of mine. It is still backed up on old DAT tapes. I think I still have almost every version of windows from 2.0 to now. I know I have an old copy of Netscape v.99.
Yeah I hardly ever toss stuff out.. lol
Peace Out,
