    text-typing was worse when the internet started becoming common place in the homes. All the teens who never had to type anything of length before >.<

    Was born in 1978 and got the interwebs in 1996 on my gatway 2000 savage pc with 1.3gb hardrive and 128mb of ram with a 28.8k modem.The internet wasn't great at the time ,I mainly used it for IRC which was the style at the time.I started playing doom and then quake came out ,then I stumbled across online gaming with quake and QuakaPalooza in 1998 which was created by DeVore.

    When 2000 hit the interwebs was getting good and I was DJ'ing at the time so it was great to be able to order all these white label tracks off Juno and HTFR.com before people had them.

    Sounds like Grandpa Simpson!!! :D

    I only learned about computers after i got tired of **** to magazines.

    The medium used to **** is irrelevant.
