Not sure if this is allowed, but I'm sure the mods will let me know.

Memories. LOL Things were so simple way back then it seems.

Did anyone host a BBS? I found this article kind of funny about 'fixing' WIndows by C:\FORMAT C:. Some things don't change. LOL

Didn't know that existed. Thanks for the tip. Dropped it in my Lemmy bookmark folder.

It's really fun to me to go back and look at how the technology has progressed. At the time, you are glued into the current technology, and probably don't have a sense for where it could all go. Keeps me grounded. A 'touch grass' moment for the muse.
