We would often              I suppose I was a little late too, but I was a kid when I got my first       computer.. I was 12 years old, and it was a hand-me-down - a home-built 286       with 2mb of RAM and MS-DOS, with a Hercules monochrome graphics card. I had       been using computers before that, but that was the first time I had my own       computer.              Thinking back, I was excited to have my own computer. I also got a modem with       it, and that was when I first started using BBSs - I thought it was really cool       to be able to connect to another computer and use it.              Eric       --- SBBSecho 2.12-Win32        * Origin: Digital Distortion: digdist.bbsindex.com (1:298/7)    |
