Diary of a Wolfeman

I just got done reading the Engadget “historical” post Greyduck linked to, and all of the comments – most of which were kids saying “wow! 2 years before I was born!”

Hmm. I was 13 in 1985, attending 8th grade and learning to program in BASIC on a Commodore Vic20. Growing up in the hick town that I did, it wasn’t until 1991 when I moved to Portland the first time that I heard the term ‘BBS’. I used a Commodore 128 with a 1200 baud modem to log into that first SCA BBS as ‘Cyberwolfe’.

Yes, child, 1200 baud was once considered high speed.

And now I bitch about how slow DSL is.
