Today is a strange day

I just read on The Verge that The Well is for sale.

When I first started calling here on my C= 64, that was THE place to be and where many of the cool textfiles came from. That was in 1992.

Now, it's a part of Salon that they want to get rid of, and they laid off the people that worked there.

Another piece of Internet history that is going by the wayside.

Even though I hardly have time to be here anymore as being married, a manager, and grad student leaves you no time, I am glad that this place is still up in some form, long after everyplace else I called went by the wayside.

Now if I could get my C= to access it now, that would be cool. The iPad 2 I am trying this on probably has 2x10^3 the processing power of that machine.
