What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.
You can find me on Skype and that'd be neat - I have a videophone, it must be the future!
I registered vital.org.nz a couple of years ago as a joke (how I hate Joe Abley for beating me to patho.gen.nz) so spleen@vital.org.nz seems like an appropriate vehicle for rant dissemination.
I first started using the internet in about 1990, when I was introduced to email and Usenet.
I remember John Houlker running into the NOC and showing me a grey Mosaic screen, saying it was the future. I thought it was a rather inferior Gopher imitation.
