[FRIAM] On Blankfaces

[Marcus Daniels]

Remember when there was an "out there" that was tantalizing and seemed just out of reach?   I once fell asleep on a long-distance call to Houston using a 1200 baud modem just to get some new program from a BBS.  I was probably watching Night Line before nodding off.

No. I don't think I've ever watched Night Line. >8^D In the late '80s, I spent almost all my time arguing on bulletin boards and using ftpmail to download things like Minix. The Russians I knew didn't talk about politics at all.
