(the kids today don’t even know that part of history)

I remember a friend coming over to show me how to get on IRC in the university and talk to other people. In Israel the word “mirc” is often used as a substitute for the word IRC because mIRC was the most popular client :)

I remember playing Descent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descent_(computer_game) ) over the network (not the Internet) when I worked for a video game company. That was cool! And my buddy from work was a very famous BBS owner nicknamed RadioGlow (I don’t remember his real name)

Not only I’m a dinosaur. I’m a geeky one as well :S

1. getting a “we celebrate the 100,000th Hotmail member” email.
2. using a 14k modem to access a university server that had internet access.

oh, I also played doom 2 in co-op mode over 28k modem

that’s enough. you get the point
