I read every word and couldn’t have written it better myself. It’s a perfect letter to every nasty money hoarding dragon out there…the grinches stuck in time that never reform. Just take and take and take, glad that we rebuild, because it just creates more to take
Been on the internet a long time myself…earliest chat I can remember is something called PowWow? We could see each other type in real time…same thing as the writer though…no bad memories…just kinda talked to whoever :)
Me, too. I started my online experience using Prodigy chat rooms in the mid 90’s, and I’ve wandered all over the internet from group to group since then. I hope this place stays a little haven free from money hoarding dragons for a while.
Not to show off, but my first computer chat was on a C64 over packet radio. BBS internet gateways were a thing too and had a few chats over those as well.
That was perfect. I’m a few years younger, and I never got to use Prodigy, but I was there for the rest of it, and she’s right.
