Seems hard to believe that we had our Commodore 64's connected to the VS. Actually, I was still using the Timex computer my dad won at a time-share sales promo. The 1kb hard drive was just enough to save my user profile here. I had to re-enter my DNS info everytime I restarted Bill's buggy "Windsheilds'85" software. Ma' Bell charged an arm and a leg for our 2nd line though. I remember rotary dialing the VS. That sucked. Dialing his web address was a b&^%! I realize your skepticism. Bill Gates and Mudlizard were looking for a couple of test subjects for their new "world wide wrap-a-round" (as they called it then). The WWW. They said it'd be the next big thing and we could be the first common "Joe's" to give it a spin. It started with Hung typing "Our future coach sucks" in early 1984. I recieved this message on my .035kbps modem in July 1985. I responded, "No he won't". I also thought he should be banned for this...but who the hell else would I have to talk to? I asked Mud to let him stay. As you know, computer things double in speed by rule. It wasn't long before Hung could type an entire paragraph and I'd get it before changing school grades. That was when Hung dropped the bomb in 1986. He felt FSU was in for a big, long-term decline. I was excited of course. Because of packet loss, I didn't realize he also said it'd be 15 years and 2 MNC's later. Anyway, yeah Hung and I were the pioneers. We worked out all the bugs so you can enjoy your time here. I remember the time we realized we could trade porn over the internet. It was right about the time Bill and Mud finished saying "you guys try it out", in 1984. I don't think they'd actually finished the sentence. I started sending Hung a picture of Farrah F. I called him in 1988 and let him know it was half way there. That's when we first learned that computer companies need to make sure people can't accidently spill liquids on their keyboard or they'll recieve big shocks. Hung didn't actually lose his hair from that event. He just couldn't comb it till it grew out. For fear it'd break off. Well, we sure have evolved since then. Hung still does what he does, but he gets it faster and he gets it safer. You could call us the Ralph Nader's of computers I suppose.
