Statement

I used the internet before advertising and commercialization. I ran (SysOp) a BBS in the 90s on the home line using a modem. In the 5th grade we had access to an Apple IIC in the classroom. I fried my first motherboard before I was 18. While that may not be uncommon today, kids working on hardware was extremely uncommon in 1989! I remember when AOL would call and tell you that your Autoexec.bat file needed changed, and they would tell you what it currently was set to.
To say that I've been around computers for awhile is an understatement.
