Is anyone old enough to remember BBSs? Before IRC? I was trying to remember my first kind of "online" experience. My dad showed me how to get into BBSs. I was trying to write a paper on the Invasion of Grenada, sooo about 1984? I used to go on just to search for info for research papers. #SmartMe

That was back when you could barely fit a five paragraph essay on a floppy disk. Also, printing-- traumatic.

By 1986 I am getting on IRC and meeting boys from other universities online. #StupidMe
