How many of you were on ARPAnet or MILnet?
Who remembers when Usenet was transported primarily by having one news server place a phone call to another?

I was using RIME BBSes before the WWW, but that drew me to the Internet.

Raises hand. I got and sent e-mail that way for nearly 4 years.
Who remembers the significance of 'ihnp4', or 'cbosgd'?
Who remembers 'bangpath' email addressing?

/after moving 10 tons of rock today, I don't feel young. Even using the tractors, there's still a lot of hand work in it.

Wow, I had no idea I was dealing with such old people. I'm just a baby compared to most of you. I'm less than half of 60.

I lifted about 100 lbs of weeds out of a lady's yard yesterday, one by one through the stones in her yard. My finners are toast. She's 1 of only 2 landscaping clients I have right now. I don't mind weeding or mowing occasionally for $30/hr. I have a welded wire fence to put in today, and I'm not looking forward to that at all. T-post setting and wire lifting aren't fun. Maybe I'll finish the cedar & PT fence today instead...
