One of my brothers sent me this clip and we all got a good chuckle from it. Bryant Gumble makes 1994 sound like it was 40 years ago.

In 1994, I'd already been online for 11 years....."You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

World Wide Web is just 20 years old, if you can believe that. For a few years, you could actually visit every single web page on the entire internet in one single week if you spent just one minute at each one.“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Originally posted by Fresno Bob View Postdude, I was telnet-ing into Stanford's machines to play games off my 300 baud modem in 1983, then on FidoNet and other local BBS's like "The Wall" not too long after....hell, we went on school field trips in 1980 to a computer lab in Menlo Park where we played Wumpus and Xtrek on their machines. I was phone-phreaking in the early 80s as well.---------------------------------------------

Originally posted by Fresno Bob View PostWow, thinking about it now, that was probably Xerox PARC I went to in 1980, don't remember seeing a mouse or any kind of UI though
Sorry for being such a smart ass, I never got into computers, but I bet it is pretty cool now to look back at what was going on then and what it turned into. I do remember my dad brought home a bunch of those punch cards from work in the early 70's. Must have been fun to work with those.Last edited by The Feral Slasher; 12-17-2014, 10:03 PM.---------------------------------------------
