You had an eMachine and became a degenerate too? I sense a trend.

We are of a different generation. My first computer had the Internet and WWW. I did find an Atari 800XL at a garage sale when I was 10 and had messed around with it until it shorted out.

I had 2400 baud, and used to phone up local numbers and post on bulletin boards at night. Pretty similar to posting on minichan really.

Edit: yeah BBSs

Were you ever worried that the sysop would laugh at your spelling mistakes as you made them live on the line?

Did you ever use BBSs while high, tired, or otherwise unfocused?

Don't they still use eMachines in Scientology?

Do they still make eMachines? I thought the company went bankrupt long ago.
