Happy Birthday! That’s amazing, 1988! Thanks for the hard work over 34 years!
I think that was the year when I got my first email address, and I was feeling special! Only few people had an email address in Argentina (most in the science sector). But in order to connect with my soon-to-be husband who was in the US we did not communicate via email. We used FTP to connect real time. The screen was divided in two parts horizontally and I could go make a coffee waiting for his answer because it was soo slow (there was a stick turning around marking the waiting time which drove me crazy). Internet (or the World Wide Web) was yet to come, at least in Argentina, and the first browser was Mozilla (and the first website I saw with my very eyes was the American Museum of Natural History in New York and I thought: “this is going to change the world forever!”) Laura Rozenberg > On May 23, 2022, at 9:33 AM, Anne LaVin <anne.la...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey, list folk - > > I've been mostly away from origami stuff, lately, but my calendar reminded me > of it, so I wanted to jump in and say happy birthday to the list!
