Computers & The Sex Trade

[jim]

Hey guys,

Time for a little walk down memory lane.

How long have you been using your computer to facilitate your desire for information about the sex trade?

Have you only know high speed connections (Cable/ADSL)?

Did you start in the days of the fast 56K modem?

The old days of the 28.8?

14.4?

Do you remember being able to tell by the squawk of the modem whether you connected at 9,600 baud or 4,800?

Did you ever 'surf' the net using a text based browser? Remember lynx?

Recall sharing information on News Groups (Usenet)?

Closer to two years for me, but before that it was the Edmonton SUN and SEE Magazine.

GEEKS RULE!!

I've been around long enough too.

I remember when the thinginabober was attached to the doohicky that made the whichuhmucallit spin so the floppy was just a nightmare to boot up. Those were the days. Thank God for Pentium 2s.

I would like a new state of the art computer. A new Pentium 3 would be just awesome. So if anyone would like to buy me a Christmas present. Thanx in advance. Your Friend --- Kev

The first time I learned the Internet could be used to hunt for information on the hobby was 1995 when I discoved The World Sex Guide.

WSG had a pretty decent Edmonton section that's for sure.

I mean compared to NOTHING, WSG was a treasure trove. ;-)

Gawd...

I bought an XT for $2,300 arg. I needed something to run my Turbo C compiler.... I should have been pooning instead of writing code.
