15 Year Internet Retrospective
I happened to notice something today, I've been using the internet for 15 years this year.

In the beginning, there was the shell account. At that point, the internet was text unless you had the vastly more expensive SLIP account and had a machine capable of running... Mosaic. It was in those days I encountered the two main things I've used continuously all the way to today...

Email, and IRC.

Then, around 1994-95, SLIP and later PPP accounts became more affordable. To take advantage of this, the old Mac Color Classic II fell by the wayside, replaced by the might of a Power Macintosh 7500 sporting a blazing fast (yeah right) Power PC 601 (this later got bumped up to a 200MHz 604e, and then to a 400MHz G4). From there it's a stream of Macs and PCs.

I've met many people. Many of the friendships begun have endured, and and equal number have faded away. Some even ended rather suddenly and with bad feelings. Sometimes my "remarkable" ability to tell people exactly what they don't want to hear is more than some can take. I mainly look at my side of what went wrong, make corrections, and then move on. I don't stop and angst, I move on through. Some will say I'm a bitch. To that I offer a simple question in replay...

SO? YOUR POINT IS...?

So here's to me surviving 15 years of the Drama Llama, wangst, lamers, n00bz, dicks, pricks, ho-bags, snobs, and vitriol-throwing flamers.

To those opposed, cry moar n00b!
