FIRST, LET ME APOLOGIZE FOR MY SHOUTING. THERE IS POPCORN KERNEL STUCK UNDER MY CAPS-LOCK KEY AND I CANNOT PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF. ANYWAY, I FIRST GOT INTO COMPUTERS LAST WEEK. THEY ARE VERY COOL AND FAST. I CAN GET ALL THE PORN I WANT TO WITH JUST MY DAD'S CREDIT CARD. HE NEVER LOOKS AT THE STATEMENT ANYWAY SO I AM SAFE FROM HIS SCRUTINY. ANYWAY, THESE THINGS ARE REALLY NEAT. I DOWNLOAD ALL THE MUSIC I WANT FOR FREE AND BURN IT ON TO CDS! THIS INTERNET IS EXPENSIVE AT $80 EACH MONTH BUT I MAKE UP FOR IT IN THE MONEY I SAVE FROM CD PURCHASES. THIS IS GREAT!
man. kinds have it so lucky these days. obviously, since i'm young, i started off later than you, but still... my first computer was a commodore 64 (All Praise The Machine). this fancy windows shit wasn't around yet, and i was content to just play games and do limited word processing (which i printed out in all its dot matrix glory - yeah!). now some lucky kid gets his first computer experience on a high-end macintosh running macos x. and he's probably only twelve years younger than i am. it's amazing how fast the technology has advanced. what the hell was an mp3 back in 1990? i first got into them in '97 and that was when they were pretty much brand spankin' new. now they've taken the world by storm. broadband? internet access providers? 1600x1200 at 85hz? i was tickled shitless when i got a number nine video card and could run 1024x768 with more than 256 colors. and that was only in 1996.
what amazing times we live in
