Oy. Feeling very old right now. I've been trying to explain to this 13-year-old British kid on the Ray Park message board about feeling old because I remember things like DOS prompts, booting up Windows from the command prompt and BBS system events. I wonder what my DSL line runs at in terms of baud rate? I still have my old 2400 and 9600 around here somewhere. Also realized that the 256meg of RAM on my computer at the moment is bigger than the 80meg hard drive I had on my first real computer. Whither MHI? Dust in the wind...

Remember when booting up Windows was a choice?

I do.

Has it really been 13 years since I was cursing the line noise, writing with WordPerfect 5.1, and fascinated by a 286 laptop and a 2400 baud modem? I needed a handle, and I've been Tilt ever since.

I turned around twice and here I am about to turn 35.
