A Decade on the Internet

Long after I was part of the "modem crowd" here in Vancouver, a friend of mine opened up an Internet account that was shared among a few friends.

We would request access to various groups and, once a day, he would download those groups to his system for our perusal.

Sometime before Febrary 8th, 1992, I posted for the first time. You can only see the response to my query on soc.culture.celtic, so I would guess I posted a day or two before that.

You can also see my old pseudonym El Loco in my e-mail address as well as TZ, which referred to the bulletin board system, Twilight Zone, where we would call into to read our messages.
