That left a lot of people out, leaving just the persistent who tooks things seriously, or the techies. :) While I look back at those years with joy -the "pioneers", not to mention the real Unix pioneers before the WWW-, today I thank that my mother or my old man can grab a tablet and send me e-mail.
