     I got my first C64 c. 1985.   
     For the first couple of years it was just a glorified typewriter.   
     In the late '80s I got a hand me down 300 baud from a friend who got a   
   1200 and was online with local boards.     
     In the early '90s I learned about GEnie (General Electric Network   
   something Exchange) and out into the early days of the Net.   
     I moved up step-by-step to a 1200 and eventually a 56k.  In '01 I moved   
   up to cable.  I moved from the Commie to DOS (at work) to Win95 when I got a   
   slightly damaged pc from work.  (The case was in sorry shape from an   
   accident, but the innards were all good   
      By the late '90s local boards were dying off and go did GEnie, which was   
   like CompuServe, only cheaper for the month.  But I had to pay for LD since   
   no number in town and also charged for time it was used.  I forget what it   
   was but something like a dollar

     I can barely remember MY name from 31 years ago.  :)

     I learned about Memories in the mid 90s and used Blue Wave all the time.    
   With the newer Windows BW was obsolete and didn't work after about Windows   
   XP.  Or was it 2000?   
      I eventually found Doc's Place from a local board post as an option when   
   they shut down and been here a long time.
