I've known adventures, seen places you people will never see, I've been on university work terminals and back... frontiers! I've stood on the back deck of Usenet bound for Mosaic with sweat in my eyes watching Netscape Navigator fight on the shoulder of the internet... I've felt wind in my hair, riding Lynx off of monochrome monitors and seen usegroups burn like a match and disappear. I've seen it, felt it...!

    The true measure of your worth: do you prefer amber, green, or true B&W?

    My terminal used to be set up such that local terminal usage was green & black and remote was amber.

    So, that was a PC, or a color terminal? Either way, you're probably a young old fart.

    It was a color terminal starting with my upgrade from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS 10 (and Fedora around the same time). If I recall correctly my Claris works terminal was black on white in the 90s when I was in Usenet (alt.rec.scouting, baby (and others))

    But I kept it that way because of my history growing up with Apple IIs (and an old interface to airline booking software in the early 2000s as well.

    Born in 80.
