Happy Onlineversary to meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

This month marks a HUGE event for yours truly. I have now been online for exactly 1/2 my life.

In May of 1990, I was winding down the senior year of HS. My Dad came home one night with this Zenith (huge by today's standards) Laptop, which he then proceeded to set up on the kitchen table, hook up to our kitchen phone line and connect to something called "Prodigy".

Being a good geeky girl, I was immediately hooked. :)

All this eventually led to my getting my own phone line (only I would be getting my own line to dial in, and not to chat on the phone... LOL) and even better we got a home PC. A Zenith XT, that thing was smokin', let me tell you. CGA monitor and the whole bit! lol

I'll have to see if I can find my picture of it someplace. LOL Of course I think by then we had switched to GEnie, after Prodigy tried ot charge people .25/per email after you hit your monthly quotient (which I'd hit in like a day) LOL Anyone out there remember that? lol

So yeah, it's been 17 years! Yikes. Maybe I need to send out some thank-you's to everyone who's put up with me for this long. hahahaha
