Never forget
@jaylee I've got that sticker on my laptop.
@jaylee (well, a replica thereof)
@jaylee 🤣 I worked for inside a week doing Y2K cold sales calls for an antivirus company in late 1999. I couldn’t hack it 🤣
@jaylee @Viss I worked the overnight computer operations shift at a financial institution at the time. There will be no forgetting.
@Nak @jaylee i worked at an ISP. we didnt turn anything off, and nothing melted down or broke.
@Viss @Nak I worked at an ISP at the time as well. The code used for the dial-up servers was custom and we were a little concerned.
@jaylee @Nak i was like 20 or so, and i didnt know shit. they wouldnt let me touch stuff, i was a lowly tech support barnacle, walking people through how to use trumpet winsock on windows 98.
@Viss @Nak The glory days of Internet access! "Ok, let's hang up and see if it works. If I don't hear from you I will assume we were successful"
@jaylee this is my villain origin story 🤣
@jaylee can I turn it back on yet?
