hey guys, I would like to know of any stories you might want to share about the old days when chatting/computer was just for geeks and the internet was dormant.  Here's mine

I used a 637 Performa CD mack that came with 300MB of space.  Half of that space was taken up by software and the operating system.  I had to constantly delete anything i can to save precious space.  The coolest game i played on it was Burn Cycle, which i still believe is the coolest game ever.  The first time I got internet was AOL 2.6, with a 2.4kbps modem.  CHatting was so fun, and that IM sound so catchy.  It would take anywhere from 5-10 minutes for my modem to load up a decent page with a fair amount of graphics.  I would just walk away for a bit and do something else.  When i got my $150 56k modem, things were alot more nicer!

Also, I subscribed to computer magazines and used to drool over 150mhz machines.

Comparing then to now, I'd say that i've been getting more impatient and greedier.  I know thats a bad thing, but I'd rather have it this way, at least with technology!
