Believe it or not, I actually had an Internet e-mail address in 1992. It was ridiculously long. I remember often times the messages I would be sending were shorter than the address itself:
nat.hall@bytewarrior.altcit.eskimo.com
That was before the WWW, but I spent a lot of time on UseNet forums and Gopher. Gopher was the shit before the WWW hit the scene.
I ran a dial-up electronic BBS ("Bulletin Board") service in the mid-90's, too.
But oh, back in 92, I could throw a football a quater mile. How much you want to bet I could throw stevek or nat a football from here??
I couldn't throw a football particularly well, but they'd always handoff or pass to me because I could outrun everyone and score a touchdown. I set the Track & Field school records that year for 50 and 75 yard dash. You know, that was 15 years ago, now that I'm thinking about it I should go back and see if anyone's broken them. I wonder if they would even release that information to me or if I'd get an escort off the school property.
